Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms to the pot and cook until they release moisture and begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, turmeric, cumin, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in vegetable broth and coconut milk, then stir in soy sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and stew to thicken.
  • Transfer to pressure cooker, secure lid, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow natural release.
  • Stir in lemon juice, adjust seasoning, and serve with fresh cilantro.

Notes

For extra depth, allow the stew to sit 10-15 minutes before serving. It tastes even better the next day!
