Ingredients

  • 1 cup white mushrooms, cleaned and quartered
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced

Method

  1. 01

    Clean and quarter 1 cup of white mushrooms. Slice 1 medium zucchini into half-inch rounds.

  2. 02

    Place mushrooms in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 4 minutes.

  3. 03

    Add zucchini rounds and continue steaming for another 5-6 minutes until both are completely tender.

  4. 04

    Transfer to a blender — the mushrooms and zucchini release plenty of moisture during cooking.

  5. 05

    Blend until smooth and savory, adding just 1-2 tablespoons of liquid if needed for a smooth flow.
