Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegan butter
  • ½ white onion, diced
  • 10 oz. sliced crimini mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 cups homemade mushroom broth* or sub homemade or store-bought vegetable broth
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, mushrooms, and sprinkle of salt. Cook for 6-7 minutes until onions are soft and translucent and mushrooms are light golden brown. Add garlic and cook for 2 more minutes until fragrant. Stir in fresh thyme and flour. Cook for 1 minute to cook off raw flour taste.

  2. Deglaze pan with the vinegars and tamari. Stir in broth. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat to simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce has thickened and reduced. Season with salt and pepper as desired (I added ~½ tsp kosher salt and few turns of freshly cracked black pepper).
