Ingredients

  • 1 packet approx. 8.8oz 250g brown baby crimini mushrooms or mixed mushrooms
  • 1 onion medium and finely diced
  • 300 ml broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1-2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • add some poultry or beef seasoning for extra flavor opt

Instructions

  • Cut the mushrooms and onions very fine. And fry them with a little water in a non-stick pan. Add only enough water to cover the base of the pan and let the water simmer completely. When the onions and mushrooms start sticking to the pan, add some more water. And you repeat this process until the onions are really nice and dark.
  • When the onions and mushrooms are brown, then add the vegetable broth, soy sauce, and vinegar. Now, the sauce should be really nice and dark, as in the photos.
  • Now season with salt and pepper and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes on low heat. This is how the taste really unfolds.
  • If the sauce is too thin for you, you can thicken it with some cornstarch. To do this, skim off about 3 tablespoons of gravy and mix with the cornstarch and stir in the remaining gravy while stirring. Let the sauce boil again. The mushroom gravy should thicken.
