  4. Chop rehydrated porcini mushrooms and add them along with 2 tablespoons of tomato paste; cook for another 3 minutes.

  6. Mix 2 tablespoons of vegan butter with 2 tablespoons of flour, then gradually add to the pot while stirring to thicken the sauce.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm over mashed potatoes or pasta, garnished with chopped chives.
