Lynda's Favourite Mushroom Gravy
Ingredients:
2 tsp. non-dairy butter (Earth Balance)
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 lb. cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 c. vegetable broth
2-3 Tbsp. tamari soy sauce
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
Pepper to taste
Instructions:
Heat butter in a large-size skillet and sauté onion and mushrooms over high heat, stirring frequently, until they turn translucent and a little golden brown and mushrooms soften. This should take about 15 minutes.
While the onions and mushrooms are cooking, in a separate bowl, pour vegetable broth, soy sauce, rosemary and pepper.
Whisk flour into broth mixture. When there are no lumps, add to mushroom/onion mixture.
Reduce heat and cook on low-medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
Take off heat and set aside.
Add to your poutine!
