Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Button mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and onion, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms are browned.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring continuously to coat and cook the flour for 2 minutes. This will remove the raw flour taste and help thicken the gravy.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the soy sauce, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, salt, and nutritional yeast. Stir everything together to combine.
Allow the gravy to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the pan from the heat. If you prefer a smoother gravy, use an immersion blender to puree to your liking. Serve hot over your favorite vegan dishes and enjoy!
