Categories     condiment     Gravy     Sauce

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter, bacon grease, lard or beef drippings
1 yellow onion (,finely chopped)
1 clove garlic (,minced)
16 ounces fresh mushrooms of choice (I used button mushrooms in the photos) (,cleaned and sliced)
1 tablespoon ground dried porcini mushrooms
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups strong beef broth
1 teaspoon dark balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Optional: For a creamy gravy, add a few tablespoons of heavy cream at the end

Steps:

  • Melt the butter (or bacon grease, lard or beef drippings - any of these will yield the most flavor) in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the onions until beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook another minute.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook 7-8 minutes or until golden and the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Add the ground porcini mushrooms and cook for another minute.
  • Add the butter and melt. Add the flour, stir to combine and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring continually. This will cook off the flour flavor and brown the flour to create more depth of flavor in the gravy.
  • Add the beef broth, vinegar, thyme, sugar, salt and pepper. Whisk continually until the gravy is thickened. Cover and simmer on low, stirring occasionally, for 5-10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer the gravy thinner add a little more water (or heavy cream if using).Note: To make this gluten free simply omit the step of adding the flour and then, at the very end after you've added the broth and seasonings, stir in a cornstarch slurry made with one tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water and simmer for a minute until thickened.

MUSHROOM GRAVY RECIPE BY TASTY



Mushroom Gravy Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: mushroom, vegetable oil, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cumin seed, white onion, turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala powder, coriander powder, chili powder, ginger garlic paste, green chillis, curry leaf, tomato, water, salt, coriander leaf

Provided by Anandaraj Selvaraj

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ lb mushroom, sliced
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cinnamon stick
3 cardamom pods
½ teaspoon cumin seed
1 white onion, finely chopped
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
½ teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon garam masala powder
1 teaspoon coriander powder
2 teaspoons chili powder, to taste
1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
3 green chillis
curry leaf
1 tomato, chopped roughly
water
salt, to taste
coriander leaf

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a pan and add cinnamon stick, cardamom, and cumin seeds. Let roast and, after a few seconds, add finely chopped onions and salt and saute until golden.
  • Once the onions are golden and tender, add the masalas (spices) as follows: ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala, coriander powder, red chili powder, green chilies, and curry leaves.
  • Mix all the ingredients well and then add chopped tomato, and a little bit of water (¼ cup) and cook until everything turns soft (5-6 minutes). You can also add ¼ cup (65 G) tomato paste in place of the 1 tomato to get a very smooth gravy.
  • Once the oil starts to separate, add the cleaned and sliced mushrooms and mix them well with the masala mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Then, add ¼ cup (or slightly more) required water and cook until the mushrooms are fully done. You should have a gravy-esque consistency: something that can be mixed with rice or accompanied by naan or roti or an equivalent flatbread.
  • Finally, garnish with chopped coriander leaves and turn off the heat. If desired, add 1 tsp of ghee on the top to enhance the flavor.
  • Serve with rice or naan. Enjoy!
