Mushroom Gravy

This Mushroom Gravy is a rich, velvety treat that transforms any dish into a gourmet experience. Packed with earthy white mushrooms, aromatic onions, and a touch of fresh thyme, this gravy is the ultimate sidekick for your mains and more.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 pound white mushrooms (cleaned and sliced)
• 4 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
• 1 small onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
• salt and pepper (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are golden brown and most of their moisture has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
2. 2Add the onion and garlic to the pan with the mushrooms. Cook until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. 3Stir in the flour to the mushroom mixture, ensuring all the mushrooms are coated. Cook for a couple of minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste.
4. 4Slowly whisk in the broth. Be sure to add it gradually while whisking to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook for about 10 minutes until the gravy thickens.
5. 5Stir in the thyme and season with salt and pepper. If you'd like a creamier gravy, stir in the heavy cream now. Simmer for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
6. 6Serve the gravy hot over mashed potatoes, roast beef, or any dish you desire.
