Recipe: Mushrooms in creamy sherry sauce

Italian dishes made with entirely plant-based ingredients are easier to prepare than many people think. After all, Italian cuisine is already largely based on vegetables. Luna Trapani demonstrates this in her new cookbook Veganista. The book contains 60 recipes for delicious Italian vegan dishes, such as these mushrooms in creamy sherry sauce.

How to make mushrooms in creamy sherry sauce

• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, shallot, thyme and a quarter of the mushroom stock cube. Fry everything until cooked and fragrant. Add the porcini mushrooms, mushroom mix and peppers. Fry until the mushrooms and peppers are cooked and caramelized. Deglaze with the sherry. Add the cream and reduce. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with some fresh thyme.
