Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms into thin pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until it's translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried sage. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and tender.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well, ensuring the flour is fully absorbed and cooked slightly, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps, then add the soy sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes, until it thickens.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, black pepper, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Allow the gravy to cook for another few minutes to meld the flavors.
Finish by stirring in the fresh parsley.
Serve the mushroom gravy warm, over your favorite vegan dish.
