Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Button mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and onion, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the onion is translucent and the mushrooms are browned.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring continuously to coat and cook the flour for 2 minutes. This will remove the raw flour taste and help thicken the gravy.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the soy sauce, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, salt, and nutritional yeast. Stir everything together to combine.

Step 6

Allow the gravy to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the heat. If you prefer a smoother gravy, use an immersion blender to puree to your liking. Serve hot over your favorite vegan dishes and enjoy!
