Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 medium sized onion, finely diced
-
1 tablespoon chicken stock powder or 2 crumbled chicken stock cubes
-
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
-
500 g button mushrooms, halved .or quartered with stems removed
-
1 tablespoon olive oil, extra only if required
-
salt
-
pepper
-
1/4 cup water
-
2 teaspoons cornflour (US cornstarch)
-
1 garlic clove, crushed
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and onion -stir until the onion has softened. Add the stock powder and dried basil. This should take roughly 3 minutes.
- Add the cut mushrooms and continue to cook for another minute. Add the extra oil if required to moisten the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix the cornflour with a little water in your measuring cup. Add more water to bring to the 1/4 cup measurement of water. Mix and add over the mushrooms. You can use cream or evaporated milk in place of the water if you wish.
- Continue to cook and stir until done to your liking. I prefer to keep my mushrooms chunky.
- Serve over toast, steak or chicken.
