Ingredients

3 tbsp (45 mL) of butter (or vegan butter)
1/2 cup (125 mL) of white onion, diced
1 lbs (450 g) of baby bella mushrooms, sliced
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
3 tbsp (45 mL) of all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (63 mL) of dry white wine
2-1/2 cups (625 mL) of prepared Plant-Based, No-Chicken Gravy Mix
2 tsp (10 mL) of fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp (10 mL) of white miso paste
Fine sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Heat 2 tbsp of butter in a sauté pan over medium-high heat until melted. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add mushrooms and garlic and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and the excess liquid has mostly evaporated. Add flour and gently toss it with the mushrooms for 1 minute.
Stir in the white wine and use a wooden spoon to gently scrape up any browned bits that have stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Add in the No-Chicken Gravy and thyme, and gently stir until no more flour clumps remain. Reduce heat to low.
Briefly transfer about 1/3 cup of the gravy broth to a separate bowl and whisk it with the miso until smooth. Add mixture back to the gravy along with remaining 1 tbsp of butter, and stir until combined.
Season with salt and pepper, as needed. If the gravy is too thick for your liking, feel free to also add in water to thin it out. (Note that the gravy will thicken more as it cools.)
Serve warm and enjoy!
