How to Make Alex's Vegan Mushroom Gravy

  1. Finely chop 1 medium onion.
  2. In a medium skillet, sauté the onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
  3. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2-4 minutes, until softened.
  4. Set the onion and mushroom mixture aside and keep warm.
  5. In a separate medium saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of vegetable broth over medium heat.
  6. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles and thickens slightly. This creates a roux.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of vegetable broth or soy milk, along with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  8. Continue to whisk until the gravy is smooth, thickened, and bubbly, ensuring no lumps remain.
  9. Stir in the cooked mushrooms and onions. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  10. Serve immediately over your favorite vegan dishes like mashed potatoes, tofu roast, or even just toast!
