1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped or pressed
8-10 ounces mushrooms, chopped
1 Tablespoon tamari soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried savory
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
dash of ground black pepper
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and saute until onion begins to soften (be careful not to burn the garlic). Stir in the mushrooms, lower heat, and cook for about five minutes, stirring occasionally. Add all seasonings and stir to blend. Reduce heat and simmer for about ten more minutes. Remove from heat and adjust seasonings if necessary. Allow to cool a bit, then puree in a food processor or blender. Chill in a covered container until ready to serve. (Also freezes well.)
About 2 cups.
