How have you been?! I’ve missed you guys and blogging!! It’s been a busy past few months between wedding planning, work, and everything else. Busy but good. Can you believe it – my wedding is only TWO MONTHS AWAY. TWO MONTHS. We are finalizing the final details of both our weddings (we are getting married in Belgium and Canada) over the next couple weeks. I cannot wait to share our 100% vegan menu with all of you. But, more on that to come.
First, let’s talk about these Creamy Garlic Mushrooms that are ready in under 20 minutes.
Mushrooms are a staple in my vegan kitchen – they are so incredibly meaty, flavourful, and versatile. If you’ve been following #CearasKitchen for awhile, you know this girl LOVES her mushrooms from stuffed mushrooms to mushroom gravy.
Start off by sautéing cremini mushrooms (or your go-mushroom of choice) with garlic and herbes de provence until caramelized and browned. If you haven’t started using herbes de provence in your kitchen yet, I would seriously recommend it. It’s a simple herb mix of fresh spices that taste good with just about everything.
What’s the secret ingredient in the creamy-garlic cheese sauce?! CASHEWS, of course. ↡↡↡
Blend into a creamy sauce and add all that cheesy-garlic goodness to your caramelized mushrooms.
And let that vegan M-A-G-I-C begin…
The sauce will start to get creamier and thicc-er (kind of like it does in my Vegan Mozzarella recipe).
Stir, stir, stir and stir some more.
