How to Make Quick Low Fat Mushrooms

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 clove minced garlic and 1/2 small onion, thinly sliced. Stir until the onion softens (about 3 minutes).
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of stock powder and 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil.
  4. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and cook for 1 minute.
  5. If needed, add 1 tablespoon of water to prevent sticking.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornflour with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add another 2 tablespoons of water to reach 1/4 cup total liquid.
  8. Pour the cornflour mixture over the mushrooms.
  9. Optionally, substitute the water with 1/4 cup of low-fat cream or evaporated milk for a richer sauce.
  10. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the mushrooms are cooked to your liking (about 5-7 minutes).
  11. Serve immediately over your favorite toast, steak, or chicken. Enjoy!
