Ingredients
for the gravy
- 1 TB vegan butter
- 3/4 cup minced shallots
- 1 TB garlic, minced
- a few dashes of salt and black pepper
- 2 tsp ground sage, divided
- 2 tsp dried thyme, divided
- 1 1/2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms, using a mandoline slicer
- 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms, using a mandoline slicer
- 1 TB olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 2 cups vegan No-Chicken broth
- 1 TB arrowroot powder, blended with 3 TB cold water
Instructions
to make the gravy
- Heat the vegan butter over medium-low heat in a large saucepan or pot. Add in the shallots and saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add in the garlic and saute for minutes more, stirring occasionally to prevent the garlic from browning. Season it with the salt and pepper.
- Add then 1 tsp each of the dried sage and thyme. Stir well to coat the shallots and garlic.
- Add in the mushrooms and stir to coat. Saute for 2 minutes, then add in the tablespoon of olive oil and the remaining sage and thyme.
- Allow to saute for 5-6 minutes, then increase the heat to medium-high. Once it starts to sizzle, deglaze the pan with the white wine and allow it to simmer for an additional minute or two, or until the liquid is mostly evaporated.
- Add in the vegan broth, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Increase the heat to medium allowing it to start to slightly bubble. Add in the arrowroot slurry, and stir until slightly thickened.
- Serve immediately or transfer the gravy to a small crockpot set to warm.
Notes
- Take extra care not to let the garlic brown during the sauteing process. Burned garlic will impart a bitter taste to your gravy!
- If you don’t have a mandoline slicer, just slice the mushrooms as thin as you can with a sharp knife.
