We use cremini mushrooms for this recipe, which are also called "baby bella" mushrooms. Cremini mushrooms are the same variety as white button mushrooms but are slightly more mature and brown in color. They are firm in texture with a mild, earthy flavor. Feel free to mix in other varieties of mushrooms like shiitake or oyster mushrooms for a richer mushroom flavor. What Is Nutritional Yeast? Nutritional yeast is a cheesy-tasting powder made from deactivated yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, that's sold as a food product in the form of yellow flakes, granules or powder. Nutritional yeast is rich in vitamin B12 and adds a savory cheesy flavor without any dairy. For a dairy version of the recipe, you can use Parmesan cheese as a substitute. Additional reporting by Jan Valdez Ingredients 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil plus 2 tablespoons, divided ¼ cup minced shallots 1 pound cremini mushrooms (baby bella), coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage, plus more for garnish ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground pepper 3 tablespoons dry sherry ½ cup walnuts, toasted (see Tip) 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast or Parmesan cheese Directions Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring, until starting to lightly brown, about 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, until their liquid is almost evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Add sage, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Add sherry, scraping up any browned bits, and cook until the liquid evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, walnuts and nutritional yeast (or Parmesan) and pulse until very finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Serve garnished with sage, if desired. Equipment Food processor Tip For the best flavor, toast nuts before using them in the recipe. For chopped nuts: Place in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. For whole nuts: Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring once, until fragrant, 7 to 9 minutes. To make ahead Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Serve at room temperature.
