Ingredients

  • 5 portions of unsalted butter, divided into parts
  • 3 tablespoons of minced shallot
  • 12 ounces of sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 2 cloves of minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup of sherry
  • ¼ cup of all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups of vegetable broth (like Kitchen Basics®)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of dried tarragon
  • 3 teaspoons of low-sodium soy sauce

Step 1

Begin by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a generously sized skillet placed over medium heat. As the butter melts, incorporate finely chopped shallots into the mix, ensuring to stir occasionally until the shallots transform into a rich, deep golden hue, a process that should take roughly 2 to 3 minutes. Introduce a medley of mushrooms, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of pepper into the skillet. Allow the ingredients to mingle and sizzle, stirring every so often until the mushrooms acquire a delightful shade of brown, typically around 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

Next, gracefully pour sherry into the skillet, allowing it to dance around the pan and mingle with the flavors. As the sherry starts to bubble and simmer, seize the opportunity to scrape up the flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the skillet using a trusty wooden spoon. Let the concoction simmer and stir a bit longer until the sherry reduces, approximately 2 minutes. Once the mushroom medley is infused with the essence of sherry, delicately remove it from the skillet and set it aside for the time being.

Step 3

Lower the heat to a gentle medium-low and allow the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to melt in the skillet. Sprinkle in flour to create a velvety roux, stirring continuously until the mixture takes on a lovely light golden hue, usually in about 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth and a touch of tarragon, whisking diligently until the gravy achieves a silky consistency with no unsightly lumps in sight.

Step 4

Elevate the heat to a cozy medium-high setting, reintroduce the mushroom mixture back into the skillet, and let the flavors intermingle and bloom. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil before reducing the heat to a low setting and letting it simmer uncovered until it thickens and reduces, around 8 minutes. Stir in a hint of soy sauce to further enhance the savory notes. Taste the concoction and adjust the seasonings as needed to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize Mason jars to store homemade mushroom gravy. The clear glass will showcase the rich color of the gravy and make it an enticing addition to your pantry.
  2. 2. Freeze leftover gravy in ice cube trays for easy portioning. Pop out a cube or two whenever you need to add a burst of umami flavor to a dish.
  3. 3. Invest in airtight glass containers with bamboo lids for a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing storage solution.
