MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until dry and tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

CLASSIC MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring stock to a low boil over medium heat; cook until reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place porcini in a small bowl, and cover with boiling water. Let soak until porcini are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove porcini, and gently squeeze out excess water; finely chop. Set aside.
• Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until foamy. Add white mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Add reserved porcini. Cook, stirring, until white mushrooms are soft, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over mushroom mixture, and cook until flour starts to brown, a few minutes more. Add wine; deglaze pan, scraping up browned bits on bottom and sides with a wooden spoon.
• Stir stock into mushroom mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer over very low heat, and cook until thickened slightly, about 30 minutes. If gravy thickens too much, thin with a little water or stock. Season with salt and pepper; serve hot.

CLASSIC MOCK MEATLOAF WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Toast the bread slices either in the toaster or on a baking sheet placed under the broiler. Let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Generously butter a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan, then line the bottom with wax paper and butter the paper.
• Tear up the toasted bread slices and make crumbs out of them in a food processor. Place in a large bowl.
• Process the walnuts until finely ground and mix into the breadcrumbs. Combine the eggs and onions in the processor and process until fine but not liquefied. Stir into the breadcrumbs. Place the green pepper, celery, parsley, tomatoes, and oil in the processor and grind until fine but still with some texture. Stir into the loaf mixture along with the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix this all very well until evenly moistened. (The mixture may be prepared to this point and refrigerated up to 8 hours in advance.) Scrape it into the prepared loaf pan and smooth over the top. Cover the loaf with foil.
• Bake 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out dry. Let sit 5 minutes, then run a knife all along the sides of the loaf to help loosen it. Unmold the loaf onto a platter and remove the wax paper. Let the loaf cool 20 minutes or so before slicing it. It's best to serve the loaf warm and the gravy hot.
• Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until brown, about 7 minutes. Stir in the flour; it will become very pasty. Cook this roux for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. It will stick to the bottom of the pan a little bit; that's okay.
• Stir in the stock, wine, soy sauce, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce at a lively simmer for 5 minutes, stirring almost constantly and scraping any crusty bits that adhere to the bottom of the pan. Serve in a sauceboat.

MUSHROOM GRAVY

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heavy 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallot. Saute, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons flour; cook until incorporated, about 1 minute. Add beef broth; cook, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in half-and-half, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 30 seconds more.

MUSHROOM GRAVY RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a pan and add cinnamon stick, cardamom, and cumin seeds. Let roast and, after a few seconds, add finely chopped onions and salt and saute until golden.
• Once the onions are golden and tender, add the masalas (spices) as follows: ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder, garam masala, coriander powder, red chili powder, green chilies, and curry leaves.
• Mix all the ingredients well and then add chopped tomato, and a little bit of water (¼ cup) and cook until everything turns soft (5-6 minutes). You can also add ¼ cup (65 G) tomato paste in place of the 1 tomato to get a very smooth gravy.
• Once the oil starts to separate, add the cleaned and sliced mushrooms and mix them well with the masala mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Then, add ¼ cup (or slightly more) required water and cook until the mushrooms are fully done. You should have a gravy-esque consistency: something that can be mixed with rice or accompanied by naan or roti or an equivalent flatbread.
• Finally, garnish with chopped coriander leaves and turn off the heat. If desired, add 1 tsp of ghee on the top to enhance the flavor.
• Serve with rice or naan. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Remove stems from mushrooms. Place stems and stock in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer for 30 minutes. Strain; set aside.
• Place 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add shallots, and cook until translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, and cook until mushrooms are soft, browned, and all liquid has evaporated. Add Marsala, if using, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits on bottom of pan. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Combine remaining 3 tablespoons butter and flour in a medium saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring until incorporated and browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in stock; bring to a boil, whisking until thickened. Stir in reserved mushroom mixture and thyme. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
• Place the remaining 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and the flour in the skillet and stir to combine. Turn the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour turns a deep brown color. Still stirring, gradually pour in the milk. Cook until the mixture thickens and the flour no longer tastes raw, about 4 minutes. Stir in the mushroom mixture and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
