Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chopped mushrooms (any kind)
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the chopped mushrooms and garlic powder to the saucepan. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes. This step develops the deep umami flavor for your vegan mushroom gravy.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Stir in the soy sauce and black pepper. If using, add the chopped rosemary.
- Reduce heat to low and let the vegan gravy simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce or black pepper if needed. For an extra smooth vegan mushroom gravy, you can blend it with an immersion blender.
Notes
- Any type of mushrooms can be used for this vegan gravy recipe. Cremini or shiitake mushrooms offer a richer flavor.
- For a gluten-free vegan mushroom gravy, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
- Tahini can be added for extra richness and a nutty flavor. Add 1-2 tablespoons along with the soy sauce.
- This recipe makes approximately 2 cups of vegan mushroom gravy.
