Easy Vegan Mushroom Gravy

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup (140 grams) diced yellow onion
• 5-6 medium garlic cloves (about 2 tablespoons)
• 8 ounces (225 grams) cremini (Baby Bella) mushrooms
• kosher salt
• 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

  more if needed
• 2 tablespoons unbleached all purpose flour

  more if needed (or 6 tablespoons light/white spelt flour, see gluten free substitute in notes)
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  or to taste
• 2 teaspoons packed fresh thyme leaves
• 1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
• 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons white wine vinegar

  to taste

Instructions

• 1 In a large pot or skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and
  garlic and stir to coat with the oil. Sauté for 5 to 6 minutes, until softened.
• 2 Meanwhile, thinly slice the mushrooms (no thicker than 1/16 inch/2 mm) or finely
  chop them into pea-sized pieces.
• 3 Add the mushrooms and a small pinch of salt to the pot with the onion and
  garlic. Stir to combine. Raise the heat to medium-high and sauté, uncovered, for
  6 to 8 minutes, until most of the water from the mushrooms cook off and the
  mushrooms are tender.
• 4 Meanwhile, pour the broth into a medium bowl and whisk in all the flour until no
  lumps remain. Add the nutritional yeast and pepper and whisk to combine.
• 5 Add the thyme and rosemary to the pot, stir, and sauté for a minute, until
  fragrant.
• 6 Pour the broth mixture into the pot and stir until combined. Simmer, uncovered,
  whisking frequently, until the gravy thickens, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat,
  if necessary, to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pot.
• 7 Add the vinegar and salt to taste and stir to combine. If the gravy is too thin,
  you can whisk another teaspoon all purpose flour (or 1 tablespoon light/white
  spelt flour) with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl, then whisk this mixture
  into the gravy until smooth. If the gravy is too thick, you can stir in a splash
  of broth to thin it.
