A rich mushroom gravy to drown your mashed potatoes and stuffing in. I mean who likes gravyless potatoes anyways? With all the right herbs and umami flavor…this gravy hits the spot.
If you are not a fan of mushrooms I suggest dicing the mushrooms into small pieces of even slightly blitzing them in a food processor. The gravy presents a rich umami flavor that doesn’t taste too strong of mushrooms. Just a tip, because I know my sister absolutely despises mushrooms, but if I prepare the gravy a bit differently she is all over it.
Apple cider and red wine vinegar add just the right amount of acid to perfectly balance the saltiness of the vegetable broth and tamari. Thyme is the featured fresh herb of this gravy and really envelops those thanksgiving flavors.
