Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock for non-vegetarian)
- 0.25 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the diced cremini mushrooms and fresh thyme. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and become tender. Allow most of the liquid to evaporate.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly. Cook the flour for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to avoid a raw taste.
Gradually pour in the vegetable stock (or chicken stock), stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer texture and flavor. Add the soy sauce, salt, and pepper, and adjust seasoning to taste.
Allow the gravy to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until glossy and smooth.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Pour over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, meat dishes, or anything you desire!
