Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and chopped onions to the pan. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender and slightly browned.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the tamari or soy sauce. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and onions evenly.
Add the vegetable broth and nutritional yeast to the saucepan. Stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Ensure the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering gravy, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Add the fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat once the desired consistency is reached.
Serve hot over your favorite dishes. Enjoy the dairy-free savory mushroom gravy with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your preferred pairing.
