• 1
  Position the rack in the centre of the oven and preheat oven to 260C or 240C fan-forced.
• 2
  Heat a large deep non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then add the mushrooms and cook for 4 mins, or until the mushrooms begin to soften. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 mins, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.

  Add the onion and cook for 3 mins, or softened. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 2 mins, or until fragrant. Stir in the vinegar and cook for 30 secs, or until vinegar evaporates. Reduce the heat to medium. Stir in cream and butter and cook until the cream simmers. Remove pan from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 20cm x 20cm baking dish.
