Instructions

1. Fry the mushrooms in a pan. Then reduce the temperature, add the onion cubes and continue frying until the onion is translucent. Then add the diced bell pepper and tomato paste and let sizzle a little. Deglaze with the Metaxa. Add the crème Fraiche, cream, and vegetable stock and simmer for about 12-15 minutes until the pepper has reached the desired firmness. Season to taste with soy sauce, sugar, and gyros spice.
