Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (optional, for creaminess)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped mushrooms and cook for 6-7 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, whisking constantly to ensure smoothness and avoid lumps.

Step 7

Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 9

If a creamier texture is preferred, stir in the plant-based milk during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve warm over mashed potatoes, biscuits, or any dish of your choice.
