  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1000 ml stock (mushroom or chicken)

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

  • Clean and slice the mushrooms.
  • Heat some butter in a big pot and sauté the onion and garlic.
  • Then add the mushrooms and thyme.
  • When they are almost cooked, add the flour. Fry briefly and then add the stock.
  • Bring to boil and stir in the cream.

  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius / 430 Fahrenheit top and bottom heat.
