VEGETARIAN MUSHROOM GRAVY



Vegetarian Mushroom Gravy image

This rich vegetarian gravy is flavored with portobello, shiitake, and cremini mushrooms. We used a combination of mushrooms for a full flavor, but you can substitute one pound of any variety you like.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Yield Makes 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 portobello mushroom
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms
4 cups organic mushroom or vegetable stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 tablespoon Marsala wine, (optional)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Remove stems from portobello, shiitake, and cremini mushrooms. Place stems and mushroom stock in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 30 minutes. Strain; set aside.
  • Finely chop portobello cap, and set aside. Thinly slice shiitake and cremini. Place 3 tablespoons butter in a large saute pan over medium heat; add shallots, and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chopped and sliced mushrooms, and cook until mushrooms are soft and browned, and all liquid has evaporated. Add Marsala, if using, and cook, stirring to loosen any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Place the remaining tablespoon butter and flour in a medium saucepan over medium heat; cook until browned and fully combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in the enriched stock; bring to a boil, whisking until thickened. Add the reserved mushroom mixture and thyme, and stir to combine. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a food processor to chop the mushrooms and onions.
  • If you don't have a food processor, chop the mushrooms and onions very finely by hand.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the gravy. This will give the mushrooms plenty of room to brown.
  • Cook the mushrooms over medium-high heat until they are browned and slightly crispy. This will give the gravy a rich flavor.
  • Add the flour to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until it is golden brown. This will help to thicken the gravy.
  • Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. You may need to add more or less broth depending on how thick you like your gravy.
  • Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and thyme to taste.
  • Cover the gravy and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the gravy over low heat until warmed through.

Conclusion:

This vegan mushroom make-ahead gravy is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used in a variety of ways. It's perfect for topping mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or grilled tofu. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for appetizers or as a filling for sandwiches and wraps. This gravy is also a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. It's easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
