20 min Easy Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 3 cups mushrooms, chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1/2 cup cheddar, grated
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • A pinch of mustard powder
  • Salt and pepper

Method

  1. Sauté the onion and mushrooms in butter for 8 minutes on low. Let the water they release cook off completely.
  2. Milk in, bring to a boil, then the cheese until it melts.
  3. Cream, yogurt, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir for a minute and take it off — boiling after the yogurt goes in will split it.
  4. Eat with roti, on toast, or spooned into a bread roll.
