Pin Recipe
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 2 heaping cups Cremini Mushrooms (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Onion (chopped)
- 2 tablespoon Fresh Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoon Coconut Aminos
- 3 cup Vegetable Broth
- 1 - 2 tablespoon Avocado / Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Thyme (Dried)
- ½ teaspoon Himalayan / Sea Salt
Instructions
- First, heat the avocado or olive oil in a medium saucepan. Then throw in the chopped onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes. Once the onion and garlic become fragrant, stir in the cremini mushrooms and a teaspoon of thyme. Continue to cook until the onions become transparent and the mushrooms are soft. Stir often to prevent sticking.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and water. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn down the heat to medium-low and let simmer for about ten minutes, stirring intermittently.
- Next, remove the pot from the heat and allow it cool for a few minutes.
- Once cool enough to handle, you can add the gravy to a blender. For a smooth gravy - add it all to a blender and blend until smooth.For a chunky mushroom gravy - remove half of the mushrooms with a slotted spoon, place in a bowl and set aside. Add the remaining mixture to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Once your plant-based mushroom gravy is blended, pour back into the saucepan and heat over medium-low heat for fifteen to twenty minutes or until the gravy is thickened to your liking.
Notes
This Plant-Based Mushroom Gravy isn't as thick as some traditional gravies. If you prefer it thicker, you can add a tablespoon or two of arrowroot starch. Whisk in the arrowroot starch once the gravy is blended and heating over the stovetop.
If you're making this a chunky mushroom gravy, you may need to add a little arrowroot since the mushrooms contribute to the thickness.
This Gravy is great to make ahead of time, it keeps up to 5 - 7 days in the refrigerator!
