Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms, discarding the stems if desired for a smoother texture. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the sliced mushrooms.
Cook the mushrooms for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and garlic. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes until the flour forms a thick paste and starts to lightly brown.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring to prevent any lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the soy sauce, fresh thyme leaves, black pepper, and salt. Allow the gravy to simmer for about 5-8 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and serve immediately over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or any dish of your choice.
