Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (optional, for creaminess)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook for 6-7 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, whisking constantly to ensure smoothness and avoid lumps.
Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
If a creamier texture is preferred, stir in the plant-based milk during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve warm over mashed potatoes, biscuits, or any dish of your choice.
