Mushroom Gravy Recipe
Description
This Mushroom Gravy Recipe begins by sautéing sliced mushrooms and chopped onions in unsalted butter until softened and translucent, which builds a flavorful base. Adding flour and cooking it a few minutes removes raw taste and helps thicken the sauce upon adding liquids.
Incorporating half-and-half and broth brings creaminess and depth, while simmering develops a rich consistency. Fresh chopped dill stirred in during the final minutes elevates the flavor with a subtle fresh herb aroma. Seasoning with salt and black pepper adjusts the taste to preference.
The gravy pairs well with side dishes like mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables, or it can complement meats. It is best served immediately to retain its smooth texture and fresh flavors.
Ingredients
- 12 oz mushrooms sliced into pieces
- 1 onion chopped, large
- 4 tbsp butter unsalted
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 cup broth chicken or beef
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 tbsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper adjust to taste, ground
- 1/4 cup dill chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the sliced mushrooms, chopped onion and butter. Sauté the veggies until they soften and turn translucent.
- Add in the flour and sauté it for few minutes to get rid of the raw flavor.
- Add in the half-and-half and broth and stir until everything is well-combined. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook it for 10 minutes on low.
- Stir in the fresh dill and simmer it for 5 more minutes. Season it to taste with salt.
- Serve immediately over mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or any protein.
