QuantityIngredient
Sauteing liquid *
1cupMinced onion
1tablespoonMinced garlic
1poundsMushrooms; sliced or chopped
½teaspoonSalt; or to taste
3tablespoonsDry sherry
¼cupUnbleached white flour
cupVegetable broth; warmed or water ( to 2 cups)

Directions

* Original calls for 2 tbsp vegetable oil for sauteing Saute the onion for about 5 minutes.

Stir in the garlic, mushrooms, and salt. Saute for 5 more minutes, then cover and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat. Add the sherry, stir, and cover again. Cook for another 10 minutes.

Place the flour in a sifter or strainer, and gradually shake it into the pan as you stir constantly. Keep stirring a minute or two after all the flour is in, to keep the mixture from clumping.

Pour 1½ cups of the broth, stirring vigorously. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and taste to adjust salt. If it is too thick, stir in a little extra broth. Serve hot.

NOTES : "This tastes great on cooked grains, potatoes, vegetables, warm open-face sandwiches, pasta, omelettes -- you name it. Store the gravy in the refrigerator or even the freezer. It reheats very well." Recipe by: Vegetable Heaven, Mollie Katzen Posted to EAT-LF Digest by "Ellen C." <ellen@...> on Sep 10, 1998, converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
