Introduction

This is quick and easy and yet one of the most incredible mushroom dishes for you to enjoy. The earthy flavours from the mushrooms combined with the Mariniere sauce are a match made in heaven. I designed this recipe for a non-vegan friend who was serving the seafood version at a dinner party and had 2 vegan guests. The feedback was amazing. Try this for yourself and see how wonderful this dish is. You'll be making this very often indeed.

Method

Wild Mushroom and Spinach Mariniere (Vegan) is a community recipe submitted by The Gourmet Vegan and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

Begin by frying the onion and garlic in the oil and butter over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until softened. Do not brown the onions.

Next add the bay leaves and thyme and continue to cook for a further 1 minute.

Add the mushrooms, and cook until all the water has been released and reduce until most of the mushroom liquid has evaporated.

Now add the white wine and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes to burn off the alcohol and until the harsh alcohol smell has disappeared. At this point you need to remove the bay leaves.
