Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, chopped
• 1 medium celery stalk, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
• 1 teaspoon rosemary, dried
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups compliant vegetable broth
• 3 tablespoons arrowroot powder
• 3 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery to the skillet. Sauté for about 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.

Step 4

Sprinkle the thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and salt over the vegetables and mix well.

Step 5

Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the arrowroot powder with cold water. Stir until smooth to create a slurry.

Step 7

Gradually add the slurry to the simmering vegetable mixture, stirring constantly.

Step 8

Continue to cook and stir for an additional 5-7 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Once thickened and well-seasoned, remove the gravy from the heat. Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer to a blender and blend until smooth, if you prefer a smoother texture.

Step 11

Serve the hearty vegetable gravy warm over your favorite Whole30-compliant dishes.
