Gravy Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Mushrooms and Garlic

    Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasoning

    Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Add dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Thicken the Gravy

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add this slurry to the gravy while stirring. Allow the gravy to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the caramelized onion and mushroom gravy warm over your favorite vegetarian dishes.
