Maybe we agree to call this mushroom rosemary red wine reduction sauce instead of gravy? Because gravy brings down this gourmet sauce where it doesn’t belong. Nonetheless, this vegan mushroom gravy is a rich, flavorful alternative to traditional meat-based gravies and just might be the highlight of your holiday meals no matter how meaty or not your friends and family eat. Packed with umami from mushrooms, aromatic herbs, and a splash of red wine, this gravy delivers a complex taste that’s totally fire. Search no more, friend. You’re going to be looking for stuff to put this on.
You could, but the soup setting doesn’t actually cook the onions. So it helps to sautee them a bit, making them less strong before blending

Shalva and Lenny,
This recipe is incredible, amazing, hilarious…. My husband was thrilled: that’s a bomb!!!
Oh yes, it is.
Thank you soooo much for this. Will go into my recipe folder for sure.
Much love,
Vero
BTW: I had no tapioca flour on hand so I used rice flour and that worked just fine.

The taste is great, but it didn’t thicken for me. The only substitution I made was using about 2 teaspoons of crushed rosemary instead of fresh. Otherwise, I followed the instructions exactly using a Vitamix 5200. Any ideas?
Strange. Shouldn’t have anything to do with the 5200. Perhaps we needed to reduce a bit longer? Next time a little warmer pan or longer sauteeing or both?

???Tapioca flour or Tapioca starch???? The recipe states ‘flour’ and in your ‘useful tips’ it is ‘starch’….or can they be interchanged?? Thank you.
You really must make this gravy tonight, it’s that good. It has such a rich taste with a tang from the red wine & soy sauce, is “beefy” with mushrooms & onions, just the right savory flavor from the rosemary, and it thickens beautifully. You’ll want to serve it to your guests, especially the ones who won’t believe a meatless gravy can have so much flavor. A real winner. If anything it was even better night #2 with Christmas leftovers! (PS, I used a food processor rather than a blender, but either will give you great results I’m sure.)
