Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, chopped
- 1 medium celery stalk, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
- 1 teaspoon rosemary, dried
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups compliant vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
- 3 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery to the skillet. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
Sprinkle the thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and salt over the vegetables and mix well.
Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
In a small bowl, combine the arrowroot powder with cold water. Stir until smooth to create a slurry.
Gradually add the slurry to the simmering vegetable mixture, stirring constantly.
Continue to cook and stir for an additional 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Once thickened and well-seasoned, remove the gravy from the heat. Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer to a blender and blend until smooth, if you prefer a smoother texture.
Serve the hearty vegetable gravy warm over your favorite Whole30-compliant dishes.
