Meatless Mushroom and Onion Gravy

 

Recipe By :Jan Wolff, Food Writer, New Jersey

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Condiments

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion -- diced or thinly sliced

6 ounces mushrooms -- stems removed

thinly slice the caps

1 tablespoon flour

1 teaspoon dried thyme

3 cups water

1 tablespoon vegetable bouillon or soy sauce

 

Place oil and onion in a skillet over medium heat and sauté for 5 minutes, or

until onion is soft. Add mushrooms. Sauté briefly, then stir in flour and thyme.

Continue to cook over medium heat until mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add

water slowly, stirring with a whisk for a smooth consistency. Add vegetable

bouillon or soy sauce and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes to reduce

liquid.

 

Yield: 2 cups.

 

TIP - The recipe can also be used as a base for vegetarian casserole

combinations. Try it with cooked brown rice, frozen mixed vegetables, and diced

tofu. This gravy is also delicious spooned over cooked veggie burgers for hot,

open-faced sandwiches.

 

TIP - To make a quick vegetable broth, I [Jan] like the " Better Than Bouillon "

brand soup base that comes in a small jar. It is available in most supermarkets.

I've also substituted a tablespoon of a good quality soy sauce for the bouillon

with good results.

NOTES : Just because you've given up meat doesn't mean your mashed potatoes must

go bare. No drippings are needed to smother your favorite grains and vegetables

with gravy. It's easy to make your own.
