This mushroom gravy is easy enough to make tonight and tasty enough for Thanksgiving dinner. I’ve been making this mushroom gravy for a while. I learned the basis for this recipe from my friend Nataliya’s mom about 10 years ago.

The ingredients are simple and my son approves. It’s great over potatoes, white rice and buckwheat (my personal favorite).

Ingredients for Mushroom Gravy:

1 medium carrot, finely grated
1/4 cup onion, finely diced
3 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb (about 6) mushrooms, thinly sliced
4 Tbsp butter
3 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 cups chicken broth or stock
1 and 1/2 cups milk (any kind)
Salt and 1/4 tsp pepper, or to taste

How to make mushroom gravy:

1. Heat 3 Tbsp of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sautee onion and carrot until soft and golden (5 minutes), stirring often.

2. Add mushrooms and sautee until soft (5 minutes), stirring often.

3. Increase to medium high heat and add 1 1/2 cups chicken broth and 1 1/2 cups milk, bring to a light boil.

4. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir until dissolved.

5. Melt 4 Tbsp butter and stir in 3 1/2 Tbsp flour.

6. Whisk the butter/flour mix into the gravy. Add more or less of the flour mixture depending on how thick you want the gravy. Remember it will still thicken as it cools. If it gets too thick add some more hot water or milk and return to a light boil again. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
