Ingredients:
– 4 large Portobello mushrooms, stems removed and finely chopped
– 1/4 cup butter
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
– 1/4 cup sherry
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped Portobello mushrooms and sauté until they are tender and have released their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and butter, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
3. Slowly pour in the vegetable or chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Stir until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Pour in the sherry and dried thyme, stirring well to incorporate the flavors. Let the gravy simmer for an additional 5-8 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to meld.
5. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
6. Once the gravy reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish or a gravy boat.
7. Serve the Sherried Portobello Mushroom Gravy warm over your favorite dishes such as roasted poultry, mashed potatoes, or meatloaf. Enjoy the luxurious flavors of the sherry-infused mushrooms.
