Best The Never Enough Mushroom Vegetarian Gravy Recipes

VEGAN MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and saute until soft, about 8 minutes. Add flour and stir until mushrooms are evenly coated. Slowly pour in vegetable broth, stirring continuously, until flour has completely dissolved and is mixed into the broth. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme; stir to combine.
• Bring gravy to a boil. Reduce heat to low, stir occasionally, and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

VEGETARIAN MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are a deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour sherry into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook and stir until sherry is reduced, about 2 minutes. Remove mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and melt remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in the skillet. Add flour to make a roux, stirring continuously, until mixture is light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add vegetable broth and tarragon; whisk until gravy is smooth and no lumps of flour remain.
• Increase heat to medium-high, return mushroom mixture to the skillet, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until mixture has reduced, about 8 minutes. Stir in soy sauce. Adjust seasonings, if necessary.

THE NEVER-ENOUGH-MUSHROOM VEGETARIAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a 5 quart pot on medium heat. Add the onions and saute until caramelized, about 20-30 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot occasionally.
• Add garlic, if using, and saute 2 minutes, or until softened.
• Pour in 5 cups water, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
• Blend with an immersion blender (or in blender or food processor, in batches).
• Add the mushrooms, wine, salt, pepper, bay leaf and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, occasionally pushing the mushrooms into the liquid. Reduce heat and simmer 45-60 minutes, or until of desired thickness.
• Remove bay leaf and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
• Note: I added some rehydrated wild mushrooms, and used the soaking liquid as part of the water. I also added some fresh chopped thyme before serving.

VEGAN MUSHROOM MAKE-AHEAD GRAVY

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook, stirring, until well browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Slowly whisk in vegetable stock, a little at a time, until a smooth sauce forms. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Season with soy sauce, salt and pepper. Serve as is, or pass it through a fine mesh strainer.

VEGAN MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Put the dried mushrooms in a heatproof bowl and pour over 300ml boiling water from the kettle. Leave to soak.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a low-medium heat, and cook the onion for 10 mins until starting to turn golden. Tip in the chestnut mushrooms, add some seasoning, and cook for another 8-10 mins until softened.
• Stir in the miso paste and flour, turn up the heat and cook for a further 1-2 mins. Tip in the rehydrated mushrooms and most of their soaking liquid - leave the last few drops in the bowl, as it may contain grit. Stir well, add the stock and bring to a simmer.
• Gently simmer for 10-15 mins, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Check for seasoning. If you prefer a thicker gravy, blitz with a hand blender until smooth. If you prefer a thinner gravy, strain and discard the onions and mushrooms before serving. Will keep frozen for up to three months.
