Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 8 ounces Portabella mushrooms
- 0.5 medium Yellow onion
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (optional)
Instructions
Clean the Portabella mushrooms with a damp paper towel and finely chop them into small pieces. Mince the onion and garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped mushrooms and onions to the skillet. Sauté for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and the onions are translucent.
Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme leaves to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour 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 stock while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to thicken.
Add the soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the gravy, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Lower the heat and let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency. If using, stir in the heavy cream for added richness.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the Portabella gravy warm over your favorite dish.
