Braising mushrooms and onions in oat milk provides an opportunity to create a richly nuanced plantbased version of traditional cream of mushroom soup. And if you’ve never had Shiitake Bacon before, prepare to get addicted!
Ingredients
1 pound cremini mushrooms, washed, trimmed, and quartered
2 tablespoons plantbased unsalted butter
3 large shallots, peeled and quartered
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 cups Califia Oat Barista Blend
3 sprigs of fresh thyme (reserve 1 sprig for garnish)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup Califia Unsweetened Better Half Creamer
1 cup Shiitake Bacon (recipe below)
Method
Heat a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms to the dry pan and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow them to brown and evaporate any moisture. Lower the heat to medium and add the plantbased butter, shallots and garlic. Stir in ½ teaspoon of salt, and then pour the sherry over the shallots and mushrooms, stirring occasionally while the liquid steams and evaporates. Pour the Califia Oat Barista Blend into the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then add 2 sprigs of thyme, reduce heat to medium low, and allow to simmer gently until the vegetables are very tender. Remove the pan from the heat, remove the sprigs of thyme, and stir in the remaining salt and pepper. Allow to cool for about ten minutes. Read More…
