Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Wooden Spoon
  • 1 Whisk
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
  • 8 oz Cremini Mushrooms, cleaned and sliced into ¼-inch slices see note
  • ½ Medium Shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 Medium Cloves of Garlic, minced
  • ¼ Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ⅓ Cup Dry Red Wine See note
  • 2 Cups Vegetable Stock I love Better Than Boullion
  • 4 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until the mnushrooms start to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the pan to a small plate. Set aside.
  • Reduce heat to low, then add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, along with the shallot and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently until the shallot is translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the shallot mixture and stir for 30 seconds. Next, add the red wine and stir. Then, switch to a whisk and slowly stream the vegetable stock in while whisking constantly.
  • Add the sprigs of thyme and turn the heat back to medium. Whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a simmer. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. See note!
  • Remove the sprigs of thyme, and add the mushrooms back into the gravy. Stir gently and taste for seasoning. Add additional salt and pepper, then serve!

Notes

Cremini Mushrooms are sometimes labeled as baby bella mushrooms. They are the small brown ones!
I used pinot noir, but any dry red wine will work.
Simmer the gravy for more or less time depending on how thick you like it! The longer it simmers, the thicker it will get.
