Mushroom Gravy
What you need:
1/2 cup dried mushrooms, chopped into small pieces
1/2 cup boiling water
1 1/2 tablespoons margarine
1 small onion, diced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup strong broth
What you do:
1. Hydrate your chopped mushrooms with the boiling water. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Melt margarine in a small-medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. Sauté the onion lightly. Dont brown too much. Add the flour, and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until frothy. Do not let it burn! Add the mushrooms and their liquid and your vegetable broth.
3. Cook over medium heat to a boil, stirring constantly. After it comes to a boil, turn the heat down a bit and let thicken.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
I agree, Amazing! I didn't have dehydrated mushrooms. I used a combination of fresh button, shitake, crimini, and portabella. I also added salt and fresh ground pepper. I make my own veggie stock out of veggie scraps that I save in the freezer so every time is just a little different but always delicious.
I made this, but kind of just winged it on the amounts for ingredients , and i added some minced garlic too... it was amazing. and then i used a little of it to saute some Gardein beefless tips :)
Like ladywyntir, I've been making potatoes a few times a week but never making gravy for it. The gravy was phenomenally delicious. I will absolutely be making it again.
:o
it never occurred to me to make gravy... all this time...!
this was the easiest, most delicious recipe for gravy. thanks for reminding me what eating mashed potatoes is REALLY about ^______^
I used large onion chunks and fresh baby bella mushrooms. simply delicious!
