kcalThis Vegan Mushroom Gravy is a rich, flavorful alternative to traditional meat-based gravies, perfect for holiday meals or everyday comfort food. Packed with umami from mushrooms, aromatic herbs, and a splash of red wine, this gravy delivers a complex taste that complements a variety of dishes. The high-performance blender creates a smooth, velvety texture while leaving some vegetables unblended for added texture. Quick and easy to prepare, this versatile gravy is an excellent addition to loafs, mashed potatoes, or any dish needing a savory boost.

2 Tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
1 whole white onion, chopped

1 1/2 cups (360 ml) vegetable broth
1/4 cup (60 ml) soy sauce
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) tapioca flour
Salt and pepper to taste

Notes
- This recipe is flexible and can be adjusted to taste. Measurements don’t need to be exact, except for the tapioca flour.
- Tapioca flour (also known as tapioca starch) is used for thickening instead of traditional corn starch.
- Keeping 25% of the vegetable mixture unblended adds texture to the gravy.
