Mushroom Gravy
Delicious savory mushroom gravy using crimini mushrooms, onion, garlic, coconut aminos, veggie broth, spices, arrowroot starch and almond butter
Ingredients
- 1 onion thinly diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 16 oz crimini/ baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 2.5 cups veggie broth low sodium
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos or use low sodium soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 1 tbsp minced fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Trader Joe's Mushroom Umami Seasoning optional, for more flavor
- 2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot starch
- 1/4 cup creamy almond butter
Instructions
- 1. Heat up a small saucepan on medium heat. Add in 1 tbsp of oil (or water sauté if using no oil)
- 2. Add in the onions and stir. Cook the onions until soft and slightly browned and carmelized- about 5 mins. Add in the garlic and stir.
- 3. Add in the sliced mushrooms and the black pepper, thyme, rosemary, coconut aminos and mushroom seasoning. Cook the mushrooms for about 5-10 minutes until they have softened and shrunk in size. Stir occasionally. Add in the veggie broth, bring to a simmer and cover.
- 4. Add in the almond butter and stir well so there are no chunks. Add in the cornstarch slurry and stir. Return to a simmer for a couple minutes then turn off the heat. Taste and adjust the salt/ seasonings.
Notes
Substitutions-
Use coconut aminos for low sodium, but you can also use Bragg’s Liquid Aminos or low sodium soy sauce instead.
In place of Trader Joe’s Mushroom Umami Seasoning you can add a pinch of regular sea salt, or add more soy sauce/ coconut aminos.
In place of corn starch you can use arrowroot starch but add in 1 extra tbsp. You could also try using regular flour.
For nut free in place of almond butter you can use tahini or sunflower seed butter, or omit the nut butter completely, but the gravy wont be as creamy.
