BEST Mushroom Gravy image

This mushroom gravy has an incredible depth of flavor and is delicious served over roasts, steaks, meatloaf, roast chicken, potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, vegetables and more!

Provided by Kimberly Killebrew

Categories     condiment     Gravy     Sauce

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter, bacon grease, lard or beef drippings
1 yellow onion (,finely chopped)
1 clove garlic (,minced)
16 ounces fresh mushrooms of choice (I used button mushrooms in the photos) (,cleaned and sliced)
1 tablespoon ground dried porcini mushrooms
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups strong beef broth
1 teaspoon dark balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Optional: For a creamy gravy, add a few tablespoons of heavy cream at the end

Steps:

  • Melt the butter (or bacon grease, lard or beef drippings - any of these will yield the most flavor) in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the onions until beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook 7-8 minutes or until golden and the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Add the ground porcini mushrooms and cook for another minute.
  • Add the butter and melt. Add the flour, stir to combine and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring continually. This will cook off the flour flavor and brown the flour to create more depth of flavor in the gravy.
  • Add the beef broth, vinegar, thyme, sugar, salt and pepper. Whisk continually until the gravy is thickened. Cover and simmer on low, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer the gravy thinner add a little more water (or heavy cream if using).Note: To make this gluten free simply omit the step of adding the flour and then, at the very end after you've added the broth and seasonings, stir in a cornstarch slurry made with one tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water and simmer for a minute until thickened.

This vegetarian gravy has all of the hearty sausage flavor without all of the meat. It came to The Times in 2012 by way of Amy Lawrence, and her husband, Justin Fox Burks, who write the Chubby Vegetarian blog.

Provided by Tara Parker-Pope

Categories     dinner, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (10-ounce) package cremini (baby bella) mushrooms
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup diced shallots
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Scant 1/8 teaspoon ground clove
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Slice mushrooms about 1/4-inch thick. You will blend them later, so there's no need to be overly precise. Add the canola oil to a medium frying pan over high heat, and then sauté the mushrooms until browned. Add the shallots to the pan and continue to cook for another minute until the rawness has been cooked out of the shallots and they're translucent.
  • Place the mushrooms and shallots into the work bowl of your food processor, and add the sage, red pepper flakes, clove powder, soy sauce and maple syrup.
  • In the same pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the flour. Whisk the mixture until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the whole milk, and heat the mixture until slightly thick. Add the milk mixture to the food processor that contains the mushroom mixture. Pulse until the mushrooms are finely chopped and well incorporated into the milk, but leave some chunkiness for a nice texture.
  • Return the mixture to the pan and keep warm until ready to serve. If it gets too thick, add some milk or stock to thin it out.

1 medium onion , chopped
1 tbsp plain flour
75ml Guinness or other stout
140g vegetarian mature cheddar , grated
1 tsp English mustard
2 eggs , beaten
2 tbsp extra-virgin rapeseed oil or olive oil
1 medium onion , chopped
2 tsp thyme leaves , plus extra to serve
2 tbsp plain flour
125ml white wine
300ml vegetable stock

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put a large pan of water on to boil and salt it well. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 mins. Drain, return the potatoes to the pan and place over a low heat. Add the butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Remove from the heat and season with salt. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, brush the mushrooms generously all over with oil. Place gill-side up in a baking dish, bake for 15 mins, then remove from the oven. To make the rarebit topping, melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 10-15 mins until soft and translucent. Add the flour and cook for 1 min. Reduce the heat, then add the Guinness, cheese, mustard and seasoning, stirring until the cheese has melted. Add the eggs and stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5 mins, but don't overcook or you'll end up with scrambled eggs. Spoon the rarebit mix into the mushroom caps and set aside.

Reheat the mash if you need to, place a spoonful on each plate along with a mushroom. Spoon gravy around and over the mash, scatter with thyme and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure a rich and flavorful gravy, use a combination of fresh and dried mushrooms. The dried mushrooms will impart a more concentrated flavor to the sauce.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of mushrooms. While cremini and shiitake mushrooms are commonly used, you can also try oyster, chanterelle, or porcini mushrooms for a unique flavor profile.
  • To get the most flavor out of the mushrooms, sauté them until they are browned and caramelized. This will help to release their natural sugars and create a deeper flavor.
  • Use a good quality red wine to deglaze the pan. A full-bodied red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add a rich and complex flavor to the gravy.
  • Be patient and let the gravy simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a smooth and velvety sauce.
  • Season the gravy to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs such as thyme or rosemary.

Conclusion:

Mushroom gravy with thyme is a versatile sauce that can be served with a variety of dishes. It is a classic accompaniment to roasted chicken, pork, or beef, but it can also be used to dress up pasta, vegetables, or even tofu. The earthy flavor of the mushrooms and the aromatic thyme come together to create a rich and savory sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make sauce, give mushroom gravy with thyme a try. You won't be disappointed!
