Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 7 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 1/4 cup of the vegetable broth until smooth.
Add the flour mixture to the pan, stirring constantly to avoid lumps for about 2 minutes.
Slowly pour in the remaining vegetable broth while stirring continuously to create a smooth mixture.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, reduce the heat to low, and continue cooking until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot.
