How to Make Portabella Gravy

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add sliced portabella mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they release their juices and begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth, tamari, thyme, and sage. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
  7. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Do not boil.
  8. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  9. For a smoother gravy, carefully strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  10. Serve your delicious Portabella Gravy hot!
