Tips for Success:

• Flavor Profile: This recipe is a Whole Food Plant Based nod to traditional Steakhouse Mushrooms which are typically sautéed in oil and butter, featuring red wine.  This whole food plant based mushrooms dish is brimming with delicious flavors.
• Vegan Red Wine: Chose a vegan red wine that you would choose to drink. Not all wine is vegan, and some brands may contain eggs whites or other non-vegan ingredients. The red wine adds beautiful depth of flavor. The alcohol burns off and you are left with this great nuance of wonderful flavor that adds great dimension to this dish. We do not recommend leaving it out. If you need help identifying if a wine is vegan, this site helps:  https://www.barnivore.com/wine
• Wine Substitutions: We are often asked for wine substitutions. We have not tried any substitutions for the wine, but we could potentially recommend replacing the wine with vegetable broth with the understanding that the flavor palate will completely change. Substituting the wine will change the depth of flavor and you may need to adjust the seasoning/spices or add other ingredients to make up for it.
• Cashew Butter Substitutes: The cashew butter adds richness to the sauce. Almond butter is typically the best substitute for cashew butter. You can try the typical cashew substitutes: silken tofu, white beans, other nuts or seeds with the understanding that the flavor and texture will change accordingly.  You may need to adjust/add ingredients to compensate. We have not tested any substitutions.
• Mushrooms: We used Baby Bella mushrooms. You can pretty much use any mushroom you like. Slice large mushrooms in half, small mushrooms can be left whole. Tip: Place the mushrooms – cut side down on the skillet to enhance the reduction process.
• Optional – Dried Crushed Thyme Leaves: If you can’t find dried crushed thyme leaves, you can use ground thyme, but use half the amount. You can pretty much use your favorite fresh or dried herbs in this recipe.
• Optional – Balsamic Vinegar: We had family members who really enjoyed the small amount of balsamic vinegar while others did not. The balsamic vinegar adds a tiny bit of sweetness to the sauce.

Leftovers and Freezing:

Leftovers will generally keep 5 days in the refrigerator.  Store in a covered container.

This dish can be frozen.
