Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups chopped cleaned portabella mushrooms or 1 1/2 cups shiitake mushrooms
2 1/4 cups vegetable broth
3 tablespoons tamari or 3 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/8 teaspoon crumbled dried sage
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
fresh ground pepper

Directions

1

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they begin to release their juices, about 10 minutes.
2

Add broth, tamari (or soy sauce), thyme and sage; simmer for 10 minutes. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir into the sauce and simmer, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes more. Season with pepper. If you prefer a smooth gravy, pass it through a fine sieve (discard mushrooms and onions). Serve hot.
