Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon sage, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the saucepan and cook until they soften and release their moisture, about 5 more minutes.
Sprinkle the tapioca flour over the mushroom-onion mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the flour coats the vegetables evenly.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it thicken, stirring occasionally, for about 3-5 minutes.
Add the coconut aminos, nutritional yeast, thyme, sage, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate all the flavors and continue to simmer for 2-3 more minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Allow the gravy to cool slightly before blending.
Using an immersion blender or transferring the mixture to a blender, blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste the gravy and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Serve warm over your favorite paleo and vegan dishes. Enjoy this rich and savory paleo gravy!
