- 2 shallots, minced
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 shiitake mushroom caps, minced
- 1 tsp dry rubbed sage
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- a few dashes of liquid smoke

for the gravy
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water overnight, then rinsed
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tsp coconut vinegar
- 2 TB Earth Balance
- 2 TB flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup Imagine brand No-Chicken broth
- 1/2 cup soy or almond milk
- Freshly cracked and coarsely ground back peppersalt
Fresh homemade vegan biscuits (I used Bisquick and unsweetened almond milk)
Instructions
- Place the broth into a small saucepan and add in the TVP. Heat over medium-low until until it starts to simmer. Turn off the heat and allow the TVP to sit for about 10 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium-sized skillet. Add in the shallots and saute for about 3 minutes. Add in the garlic and shiitake mushrooms. Allow the ingredients to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Next, add in the TVP and stir to combine. Simmer until most of the moisture has evaporated, then add in the sage, fennel seeds and basil. Stir again. Add in the soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and adjust any seasonings as needed. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting.
- To make the gravy, place the soaked and rinsed cashews into a blender with the vegetable broth and coconut vinegar. Puree until smooth.
- In a medium-sized saute pan, melt the Earth Balance over medium-low heat. Add in the flour and stir to combine.
- Transfer the cashew creme to the pan and stir well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then add in the broth. Add in the almond or soy milk as needed to thin it out to a desired consistency.
- Simmer for a few minutes more, then serve immediately with the hash and freshly made biscuits.
