  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2–3 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh lobster mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or ½ tsp dried thyme)
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth (or mushroom broth for richer flavor)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut cream or cashew cream (optional for richness)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Cooked pasta, rice, or crusty bread for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gently brush off any dirt from the lobster mushrooms using a damp cloth or soft brush. Slice them into even pieces.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and slightly golden, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the sliced lobster mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
  4. Stir in the thyme and season with salt and black pepper.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. For added creaminess, stir in the coconut cream or cashew cream. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
