Ingredients

• 8 ounces Fresh cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Shallot
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms. Peel and finely chop the shallot and garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter with the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 4

Add the chopped shallot and garlic to the mushrooms. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the shallot is translucent and fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture, stirring to combine and coat the mushrooms evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the low-sodium vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the fresh thyme and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Allow the gravy to simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Stir in the balsamic vinegar, taste, and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Remove from heat and serve the mushroom gravy warm over your favorite dishes.
