Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (any variety)
• 1/4 cup mushroom catsup
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Add the mushroom catsup and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
5. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Add the soy sauce and dried thyme, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve the mushroom gravy hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
