Main Ingredients
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat the olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add soy sauce and, if desired, cornstarch mixed with a little water to thicken.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until thickened. Serve over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, meat, or biscuits.

Notes

Make sure to sauté your onions until they’re really soft and golden for better flavor. Add a splash of wine for zing, and use cornstarch for a thicker texture. This gravy keeps well for 3-4 days in the fridge, and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
