Mushroom Gravy (Vegan Gravy) Recipe

If you're serving vegetarians or vegans this Thanksgiving or Christmas, vegan gravy recipes can be hard to come by. After all, the whole idea of gravy is, well, thickened meat drippings and juices. Not exactly a vegetarian-friendly recipe.

This vegan gravy recipe, however, is. Using vegetable broth and mushrooms for flavoring, it's rich and delicious. Vegans and meat-eaters alike will enjoy this rich sauce, so be sure to make plenty. Want to do something really special with this non-turkey gravy recipe? Use mixed wild mushrooms in place of the crimini mushrooms.

Ingredients:
3 C. vegetable broth (the richer the better)
1/3 C. flour
1/4 C. olive oil
1/2 C. minced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 1/2 C. thinly sliced crimini mushrooms
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 C. dry white wine
3 tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 C. nutritional yeast
1/4 C. soy milk

Instructions: 1. In a medium saucepan, cook onion and garlic in the olive oil until semi-tender, about 3 minutes.

2. Stir in mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until mushrooms begin to release their liquid, about 5 minutes.

3. Add flour. Cook, stirring, until flour begins to color, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Slowly whisk in vegetable broth. If you're worried about lumps, bring broth to a boil before adding to flour/veggie mixture.

5. Add soy sauce and wine.

6. Bring gravy to a boil. Lower to a simmer. Simmer about 15 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken and flavors to combine.

7. Stir in nutritional yeast until fully dissolved.

8. Stir in soy milk. Bring your vegan gravy back up to a simmer.

9. Remove from heat and serve hot.
