Easy Wild Mushroom Gravy Recipe

This wild mushroom gravy features a blend of earthy mushrooms sautéed with onions and garlic, thickened with a roux, and finished with cream for a luxurious texture. It serves about 4-6 people and is a delightful complement to your Thanksgiving feast.

Ingredients

2 cups mixed wild mushrooms, chopped (such as shiitake, cremini, and oyster)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Sauté Mushrooms: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Add Mushrooms: Stir in the chopped wild mushrooms and cook until they are tender and browned (about 5-7 minutes).
Make Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Add Broth: Gradually whisk in the broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens (about 5-10 minutes).
Finish with Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through without boiling.
Serve: Pour the gravy over your favorite dishes and enjoy!
