Equipment
- 5-quart pot
- 11-inch skillet
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 20 oz Baby Bella mushrooms, (sliced)
- 1 carrot, (finely grated)
- 1 onion, (diced)
- 5 Tbsp butter, (unsalted)
- 3 1/4 cups water
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp Vegeta Seasoning
- salt and pepper
- 1 mushroom bouillon cube
- 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1 clove garlic, (crushed)
- 1/2 cup flour , (plus 3/4 cup water for slurry)
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
- Begin by toasting 1/2 cup flour over high heat in a dry skillet for about 2 minutes (or until flour turns tan.) Transfer to a bowl and cool.
- Meanwhile, in a pot fry mushrooms in butter over medium heat. Strain and reserve any mushroom juice after about 5 minutes, (should have 1/2 cup.) Transfer mushrooms into a bowl and set both aside.
- In the same pot add 4 Tbsp of oil and saute the carrot and onion for about 5 minutes.
- To the pot, add the reserved mushroom juice, water, sauteed mushrooms, 1 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, bouillons, Vegeta, and garlic salt. Bring to a boil and simmer over med-low heat for 20 minutes.
- Make a slurry by slowly whisking in 3/4 cup of cold water into the toasted flour. Whisk in the slurry to the simmering pot of mushrooms. Stir in the garlic and cream. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Serve!
Notes
Notes:
- Toast flour until golden, NOT brown. Stir constantly for even browning. Cool flour completely before making a slurry, otherwise the flour will clump.
- Can use part chicken broth with water. Omit 2 cups of water and chicken bouillon powder and use 2 cups of chicken broth instead.
- If making gravy with meat no broth is needed. If using beef fry in oil first, then simmer for 40 minutes with the mushrooms.
- For Vegetarian mushroom gravy use broth.
- Add a pinch of turmeric for color.
