Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, finely diced
- 1 celery stalk, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 0.5 teaspoons rosemary, dried
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
- salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion turns translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and mushrooms, cooking for another 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat the vegetables and cook the flour for about 2 minutes, ensuring that it doesn't burn.
Gradually add the vegetable broth to the pan, whisking constantly to dissolve the flour and avoid lumps.
Stir in the soy sauce, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and nutritional yeast. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste the gravy and adjust the salt if needed.
Once thickened and well-seasoned, remove the gravy from heat. Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the mixture for a smooth texture if desired. Serve hot.
