Tips & tricks

How I clean and prepare button mushrooms:

Keep in mind that this is the way I find the easiest to clean and prepare button mushrooms, if you find other ways easier, use those by all means.

  • First of all, I gently remove the stems (don’t throw them away).
  • I peel the mushrooms with my hands (you can use a knife if you want to) by grabbing the cap-side end of the thin skin and peeling it back all around the mushroom.
  • Next, I remove the skin from the stems if there’s any, then cut a little slice off of both ends.
  • Usually, I just cut them into quarters, but for this recipe, first of all, I halved the caps and then sliced them into 0.2″ thick slices.

Cauliflower to thicken the sauce:

If you don’t want to use flour for any reason, you can thicken this sauce with cauliflower in two ways. I’ll show those methods below.

If you choose to use cauliflower to thicken your sauce, it’s easier if you prepare the cauliflower before you start anything else.

  • The first way is by cooked cauliflower:
    • Break a medium size cauliflower into florets.
    • Cook them in seasoned water.
    • Drain them.
    • Blend them with a hand blender.
  • The second way is by roasted cauliflower:
    • Break a medium size cauliflower into florets.
    • Lay them out in a baking sheet.
    • Sprinkle seasoning on them
    • Roast them until they have a nice golden color.
    • Blend them with a hand blender.
