MUSHROOM GRAVY RECIPE
Ingredients
– 8 ounces of brown mushrooms, roughly chopped
– A handful of dried mushrooms (optional) – soaked in warm water for an hour, then chopped
– 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil or 2-3 tbsp veggie broth
– 1 small onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tbsp sherry
– 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
– 2-3 cups of veggie broth (depending on how thick you want your gravy + 1 cup of water from soaked mushrooms (if using)
– 2 tsp vegan Worcestershire Sauce
– 1 tsp aged Balsamic vinegar (optional)
– Ground black pepper and sea salt to taste
Directions
– Heat the oil or broth in a saucepan
– Add onions and fry off until soft.
– Add garlic and fry for another minute.
– Add sherry
– Add mushrooms. Add a little veggie broth if it feels to dry. Fry for about 3 minutes or until mushrooms are cooked through.
– Stir in the flour and make sure it’s well combined
– Add the broth and the remaining ingredients.
– Bring to the boil and then turn down the heat so that gravy is simmering. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
– Transfer to a blender and blend until desired consistency.
VEGAN MASHED POTATOES
Ingredients
– 2 large Russet potatoes or 4 large Yukon gold (Yukon gold are better if you can get them because they are waxier, so make for a richer texture)
– 1.5 cups of cauliflower florets
– 1 tbsp vegan spread (I like Earth Balance)
– Salt and pepper to taste.
Directions
– Boil your potatoes and florets until fork tender
– Add your vegan spread, and either mash or blend, depending on your texture preference
– Season with salt and pepper to taste
LOW SUGAR CRANBERRY SAUCE
Ingredients
– 8 ounces of fresh, organic cranberries (picked over)
