Servings: 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 shallots chopped small (or use 1/2 cup finely chopped onion)
  • 8 ounces mushroom variety (button, shitake, bella, oyster) chopped small
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons thyme leaves (or 2 teaspoons dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped small (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1/4 cup red wine optional
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons flour or corn starch
  • 2 cups mushroom broth or use vegetable broth

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a medium to large skillet. Add shallots (or onion) and cook until transparent (about 3-4 minutes).
  2. Add mushrooms and cook about 10 - 12 minutes more (or until they release their liquid and become tender).
  3. Add garlic, thyme and rosemary, cooking another minute while stirring.
  4. Stir in red wine if using and cook until wine evaporates.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce and flour. Then, add vegan butter to skillet. When melted add soy/flour paste. Whisk continuously to cook flour for about 2 - 3 minutes.
  6. Slowly whisk in broth and bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat a bit, and cook 2 minutes, whisking constantly, until thickened. Add salt and pepper and serve hot.
