[recipe] Mushroom gravy

[Guest guest]

This is a rough outline of an un-recipe i use

for vegetarian gravy. i don't really measure

anything and just wing it along. Basically i use

very finely minced onion and garlic which i saute

in some butter. Then i add some finely chopped

mushrooms, and continue cooking them until

they begin to release their juices.

Then i sprinkle in a few tablespoons of flour and

make a roux. Then slowly add while whisking some

mushroom broth; cook until thickened and the

consistency you like for gravy. Add a few shakes

of hot sauce, some sage, and salt & pepper to taste.

At this point you can puree the whole mess or leave it

with the texture of the mushrooms and onions;

i prefer the later.

 

i might play around with it more this year; gravy

is always a cooking adventure. Some ideas i have

are adding tamari, or Braggs, or some nutritional

yeast flakes, or all of the above.

I like this one - these are things I have around the house, and don't

have to make an extra trip to the hfs.

Thanks!
