Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup diced yellow onion
  • 3 garlic cloves peeled and chopped
  • 6 ounces white button mushrooms roughly chopped (2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon tamari
  • 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose or garbanzo bean flour
  • 1 16-ounce can navy beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups vegan vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the onion is translucent. Stir in the mushrooms, sprinkle with the tamari, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the mushrooms are tender but still juicy.
  • Decrease the heat to low and stir in the flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until the mixture turns slightly beige, is bubbly, and appears to have grown in volume.

Notes

The gravy can be made up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated, tightly covered. Reheat it over low heat, stirring occasionally.
