Weekend Cooking: Mushroom Ragout

In this very hectic period, I have to admit that I am not cooking that much at all. I planned all easy and quick recipe last week, and this week I tossed the menu planning out of the window completely. However I made a vegetarian version of mushroom ragout. It is a thing that is often served on x-mas and New Years eve in the Netherlands but I haven't had it since I stopped eating meat. In the canned mushroom ragout they sell in the supermarket, there is still meat. Luckily Vegatopia provided :) Because the website is Dutch I will translate the recipe below.

Mushroom Ragout (serves 4 as a side)
- 500 gr mushrooms, sliced
- 1 clove of garlic, chopped
- 50 gr butter
- 25 gr flour
- 200 ml vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp thyme leaves
- some wine (optional, I left it out)

Bake the mushrooms in some oil on high heat until the moist has vaporized and the mushrooms are soft. Turn the heat low and add garlic, butter and thyme. Add wine, if using, and leave it simmer for a bit. Sift in the flour and keep stirring until you get lumps. Now add the broth bit by bit and keep stirring until it thickens. Add some pepper and salt if desired but we didn't because the broth adds enough. Serve with Turkish bread or toast.
