Each year around November, when the air begins to chill, I crave warm, hearty, and comforting food. This Hearty Vegetarian Mushroom Gravy recipe was inspired by my love for mushrooms and is a cross between a gravy and stroganoff. It’s a veggie filled delight that will leave you feeling satisfied and provides your body with a wonderful supply of selenium, vitamin D, and vitamin B6.

This dish would make the perfect vegetable side or you can use it as a gravy at Thanksgiving or Christmas, too. I like drizzling it over mashed potatoes (get a recipe here) or just enjoying it as a stand-alone veggie dish. As written, this is a vegetarian dish and can be made vegan by removing or subbing the crème fraîche for your favorite non-dairy sour cream.

*I love using this Kyocera Ceramic Knife to easily chop the onion and chives. It stays sharp and never needs sharpening.

Recipe type: Vegetable Side Dish

Cuisine: American

Serves: 4-9

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 4 sprigs of rosemary, fresh
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1½ yellow onions, sliced
• 1lb mixed mushrooms, slicing or tearing any large mushrooms
• 4 cup reduced sodium mushroom broth, divided
• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Dollop of crème fraîche (optional, sub or remove to make vegan)
• 1 Tbsp chives, chopped for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Strip rosemary leaves from sprigs and place the leaves into the hot oil. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Add onions and sauté for 8 minutes, or until onions begin to brown.
3. Add mushrooms and cook for 10 minutes, or until onions and mushrooms are caramelized, stirring occasionally.
4. Deglaze the pan by adding 1 cup of mushroom broth and red wine vinegar, while scraping the crispy bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and reduce by half. Add in flour and stir. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
6. Slowly add the remaining 3 cups of broth to the pan, reduce to desired thickness. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
7. Serve as a stand alone item or with your favorite starch such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta. This is a delicious gravy over turkey, too. Add a dollop of creme fraiche as desired and top with chives.
