Gnocchi with Oyster Mushrooms — Recipes — Plantiful Coach

I got an oyster mushroom growing kit as a gift (thanks mom!) and it was quite exciting to wake up each morning to see how much it had grown. It even attracted a little spider-friend to live in the village of gill-caps, so cute!

Four days later, they were ready to be harvested. So I took some gnocchi I had on hand and made a quick and easy dish full of umami and very satisfying.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
• 300 g oyster mushrooms (shredded)
• 1 cup vegetable stock
• 1/2 cup vegan cream (e.g. soy or cashew)
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 package gnocchi

Directions

• Over medium heat in a large skillet, heat the olive oil and add the onion, mushrooms and thyme, and saute until soft.
• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring salted water to the boil. Once it’s boiling add the gnocchi (according to package instructions).
• Add the vegetable stock and vegan cream to the mushroom mix, and stir.
• As soon as the gnocchi floats to surface of the water, drain it and at it to the mushrooms.
• Stir to coat, and cook for a couple more minutes before serving.
