EQUIPMENT
-
large saute pan
INGREDIENTS
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 10 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¾ teaspoon dried thyme or about 1½ teaspoons chopped fresh thyme – Sub rosemary if desired.
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour – Sub GF or whole wheat flour if preferred.
- ¾ cup unflavored, unsweetened non-dairy milk – Even some unsweetened plant milks taste sweet, so be sure to taste first. I used Trader Joe’s soy.
- 1 cup salty vegetable broth – Or water plus bouillon, or water plus extra soy sauce.
- black pepper
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
-
Preheat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms. Stirring occasionally, cook until dry and softened, about 10 minutes.
-
Add the garlic and thyme to the pan, stir, and cook for about 30 seconds. Evenly sprinkle flour into the pan, stir and cook for about 1 minute or until lightly browned.
-
Add the milk and broth, and stir to dissolve the flour. Return to a low simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes or until thickened. Add pepper to taste.
-
Stir in the tamari, and reduce heat. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve immediately, or allow gravy to cool, then refrigerate until ready to re-heat and use.
NOTES
This recipe makes a modest amount. So if you plan to double it for a crowd, double everything except the mushrooms, which you can increase to 12 to 16 ounces, depending on how mushroom-heavy you want it to be.
Storage
Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Mushroom gravy can also be frozen. Thaw overnight and re-heat on the stovetop.
