Print Recipe

A rich, savory vegan mushroom gravy made with fresh herbs, perfect for mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or vegan meatloaf. It’s plant-based, wholesome, and ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz (280 g) cremini or button mushrooms, finely chopped or sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or vegan butter)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 ½ cups (600 ml) low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and finely chop the mushrooms. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the fresh herbs.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently.
  3. Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly pour the vegetable broth into the pan, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the soy sauce, fresh thyme, sage, black pepper, and salt. Allow the gravy to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  7. Taste the gravy and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. If it’s too thick, add a splash of vegetable broth. If it’s too thin, let it reduce a bit longer.
  8. Once the gravy is ready, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use cornstarch or rice flour instead of all-purpose flour. Cremini mushrooms provide a meaty texture, but you can use button or wild mushrooms for extra depth. Double the recipe for freezing and reheating later.
