Instructions

Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add the onions and vegetable broth. Saute for 2-3 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and saute for another minute.

Add the mushrooms, ½ tsp sea salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and parsley. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms soften.

Add in the coconut milk and stir. Bring to a simmer. Add 2 tsp tapioca flour to a glass or bowl with 1 tbsp water and stir until well mixed. Add to the sauce and stir to thicken.

Taste and add more flavour if needed. Serve with pasta, vegetables, meat, chicken (see Chicken Thighs in a Dairy Free Mushroom Sauce recipe)

Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes: If you don’t want pieces of onion in your sauce, you can puree the onion or grate it into the sauce so that it melts.
