¼ cup vegetable stock (or water)
½ cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
½ tsp sea salt
½ cup walnuts
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
pepper, to taste
fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
1. In a large skillet heat vegetable broth (or water) over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sprinkle with a few pinches of the sea salt.
2. Sauté for 10 minutes, adding a touch more vegetable broth (or water) if the onion begins to stick to the skillet. Add the mushrooms and another few pinches of sea salt. Add a little bit more vegetable broth if needed. Cook and stir for 5 more minutes, or until the mushrooms have softened.
3. Place the cooked vegetables, remaining sea salt, walnuts, balsamic vinegar and black pepper in a food processor. Blend until well-blended but not completely smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
