Mushroom Gravy

Mushroom Gravy

mushoomgravyMmmm Mmmm Mmmm! That is what I have to say about this. Chef Yvonne Ardestani you never cease to amaze me.

When Yvonne had shared the recipe with me, I was so intrigued by the ingredient port. I had no idea what it was, and ended up actually having to look it up on google. Props to Yvonne and her fancy shmancy ingredients and chef skills, because this was the bomb! I had made my own variations of vegan mushroom gravy in the past, but I have never made it like this. And surprisingly, this was so simple to make! All of the herbs merry so well with each other and add that umph in this gravy that separates it from the rest.

Use this to top some Garlicky Cauliflower Purée and voila, you have the perfect side dish for your next Vegan Thanksgiving celebration! This recipe can also be made one day in advance! I suggest you do so to save you some time during your holiday prep!

Mushroom GravyI have teamed up with vegan chef Yvonne Ardestani to bring to all of my readers 13 new recipe for a Vegan and Gluten-free Sweet Eceletic Thanksgiving Celebration! I’m crossing my fingers that a recipe of ours makes it to your list!

    This was our favorite dish in our vegan Thanksgiving meal! We used cilantro instead of parsley because my daughter has a thing for cilantro. We sauteed the herbs before we added the broth. Was incredibly flavorful and we put it on green beans and basil/thyme biscuits. Thank you SO much!
