Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 cup, finely chopped Mushrooms
- 2 cups Chicken or beef stock
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon, chopped Fresh thyme
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the ghee over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until translucent, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped mushrooms, continuing to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are softened.
Pour in the chicken or beef stock and coconut aminos, stirring to combine with the vegetables.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5-6 minutes to reduce slightly and enhance the flavors.
In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with cold water to create a slurry. Ensure there are no lumps.
Gradually whisk the arrowroot slurry into the simmering stock mixture, stirring continuously to avoid clumping.
Continue to cook the gravy for another 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken to your desired consistency.
Season the gravy with salt, ground black pepper, and fresh thyme, stirring well to incorporate the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove the gravy from heat once it reaches your preferred thickness.
Serve hot over your choice of roasted meats or vegetables.
