VEGAN MUSHROOM GRAVY
Hello mushroom lovers! We’re gearing up for our annual Thanksgiving Farmer’s Market as we speak. Everyone thats picking up today will probably be using their mushrooms in a variety of different dishes for Turkey Dinner. For those of you that have a meal already planned, congrats! For those of us that wait until the last possible second to whip up a masterpiece, we’re here help you. Without further ado, let’s make you a hit at the dinner table tomorrow evening.
This mushroom gravy recipe comes together with a handful of basic ingredients:
Mushrooms: We sell variety boxes at our stands. This way you can add a little bit of every mushroom we offer! The power of umami in gravy is delightful.
Shallot and garlic – For sharp, savory depth of flavor.
Tamari or soy sauce – Tamari really highlights rich, savory flavors. Soy sauce will work here too, but make sure to use tamari if you need this gravy to be gluten-free.
Rosemary and thyme – These herbs are necessary in a gravy recipe. Their fresh, aromatic flavors make it cozy and complex.
All-purpose flour – This makes your gravy nice & thick
Vegetable stock – It gives the gravy body.
Extra-virgin olive oil – For richness.
And sea salt and fresh black pepper – To make all the flavors pop!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 shallot, finely chopped (⅓ cup)
- 16 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- ½ tablespoon tamari
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1½ tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- ½ tablespoon chopped rosemary
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups vegetable broth

Instructions
