  • Add chopped and sliced baby bella mushrooms, white mushrooms, and wine to the pot; sweat mushrooms until soft and alcohol has cooked off, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, Cajun seasoning, paprika, thyme, sage, and red pepper flakes. Add stewed tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic. Simmer until heated through, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onion mixture back to the pot and stir to combine.
