Savory Mushroom Gravy

Ingredients

Unsalted butter

4 tablespoons

Mushrooms

16 ounces, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms work well)

Onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

All-purpose flour

2 tablespoons

Vegetable broth

2 cups

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Dried thyme

1 teaspoon

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onions are translucent.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine, cooking for an additional minute to remove the raw flour taste.
4. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
5. Stir in the soy sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
6. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to your desired consistency.
7. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or soy sauce if desired.
8. Serve hot over your choice of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats for a delightful meal.
