Caramelized Onions and Mushroom Vegan Gravy Recipe
Rich and savory, this Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Vegan gravy is the best thing to happen to your mashed potatoes!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 medium yellow onions, sliced
- 1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1½ cup vegetable broth
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil under medium heat in a large pan. Add the sliced onions and cook until they start to soften, around 20 minutes, stirring regularly to avoid burning.
- Once the onions start to caramelize, lower heat to medium low, stirring often, for around 10 minutes more. Add the cornstarch and combine well.
- While the onions are caramelizing, add 2 tbsp olive oil to a small saucepan under medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté, taking care not to crowd them, and keep them in a single layer.
- Cook mushrooms for about 1 minute on one side, flip them, and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. When the mushrooms are nicely browned, remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the onions are caramelized, add the vegetable broth, combining well. Simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
- Using a high speed blender or an immersion blender, blend the gravy until smooth and lump-free. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the mushrooms and serve.
