Ultra Creamy Mushroom Gravy

By Chef Katie Mae

Makes 4–6 servings | Ready in 15 minutes | Stores 5 days in fridge

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 oz onion, chopped (1 medium to large)
  • 6 oz Crimini mushrooms, chopped (7 medium)
  • 4.5 oz celery (2 stalks)
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1¼ cup water
    ¾ cup raw unsalted cashews
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Add the onion, mushroom, celery, and garlic to a sauté pan over medium heat. Cover and sauté for 5 minutes, or until onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender.
  2. Transfer the veggies to a blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until creamy.
  3. To heat your gravy: Blending it for a few extra minutes in the blender will warm it slightly. If you’re like me and prefer your gravy hot, transfer it to a saucepan on the stovetop. Heat on low-medium until the sauce starts to simmer. Stir occasionally.

 

CHEF'S NOTES

If you would like to substitute the nuts in this recipe, you can use ½ cup of cooked white beans, like cannellini beans or 1 cup of chopped cauliflower that’s been steamed. You can also try tahini, but it has a more distinct flavor so I would add it in small amounts and taste it along the way, so you don’t overdo it.
