- Prep the ingredients for making this recipe. Wash the mushrooms thoroughly in running water. Dry them with a kitchen towel, chop roughly and set aside.
- Finely dice the garlic cloves. wash, peel and roughly chop the potato and keep aside.
- Roughly chop the onions and set aside.
- In a pan, add olive oil and once hot add in the cumin seeds and garlic cloves. Saute until they give off a fragrant aroma.
- Add onions and saute till they become translucent. Do not brown them.
- Add in the chopped mushrooms and potatoes to the pan.
- Add 1/4 tsp of salt and saute until the mushrooms become tender and soft and leaves out water.
- Add in 2 to 2.5 cups of water or vegetable stock to the pan. To it also add the salt, almond powder, Italian seasoning. Mix the cornstarch powder with 3 tablespoons of water and add it in as well.
- Mix thoroughly and let it cook on a low to medium heat for 8 to 10 mins. You can also partially close the lid to let it cook faster.
- After the potatoes have cooked through, allow the mixture to cool off completely before transferring the ingredients to a high speed blender to make a smooth puree.
- You can also make a puree of the ingredients right away with an immersion blender like I have done here.
- After blending the mixture, pour the ingredients back into the pan and bring to the stove top.
- When the mixture is sufficiently hot, you can add in the almond milk and allow to cook for a couple of minutes before turning off the stove.
