Combine the mushrooms and onions in a large bowl and toss gently to mix.
- 2
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a very large pot over medium-high heat. Add the mushroom-onion mixture, in batches, so it covers the bottom of the pot in a single layer; cook, without stirring much, until it begins to brown and caramelize on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir and cook until the other side is browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl with a slotted spoon. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the pot and repeat with another batch of the mushroom-onion mixture. Continue until all of the mushroom-onion mixture is cooked.

Season the mushroom-onion mixture with salt and black pepper and set aside.
- 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon oil to the same pot. Add the carrots and leek; cook until the leek turns light golden and starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Add the flour; cook and stir 1 minute more.

Stir in the wine, vegetable broth, tamari, thyme, bay leaves, and cayenne pepper while scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Carefully add the mushroom-onion mixture and bring to a simmer.
- 6
Reduce the heat to low; simmer, partly covered, until the carrots and onions are tender and the sauce has thickened, 30 to 40 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
