Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until they become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are browned and any released liquid has evaporated.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth, then add the fresh thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for about 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth to create a slurry.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, and continue to stir until the gravy thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and taste. Adjust seasoning with more black pepper if necessary.
Serve the gravy hot over your favorite dishes or store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
