Creamy Garlic and Thyme Mushrooms
This is my new favourite breakfast, lunch, side dish and general flavour combination right now. I'm pretty obsessed with mushrooms at the best of times, I just love their texture and their ability to absorb so many flavours, which is why they work so well here. They're sliced thinly and then sauteed fresh thyme, onion, garlic, salt and pepper and then stirred through with natural (coconut yoghurt) to create a rich, creamy mix that absorbs so well onto crusty sourdough bread. I eat these just like that, I enjoy the simplicity of it, but they're also great as part of a bigger brunch with all the works, including a big helping of smashed avocado!
