Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large Portabella mushrooms chopped
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or fresh
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add onions and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add chopped Portabella mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and become tender.
  4. Stir in flour and cook for another 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
  5. Slowly pour in vegetable broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.
  6. Add soy sauce and thyme, and simmer for 5 more minutes, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve hot over mashed potatoes.

Notes

For a vegan version, simply ensure that your vegetable broth is plant-based and use olive oil instead of butter. Adjust thickness by adding more or less broth, depending on your preference.
