Great Mushroom Gravy

White Rose Child's Note:

Adapted with mushroomy love from my well-thumbed copy of Vegan Vittles. This is terrific over a meal of potatoes and roasted veggies!

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 3 tablespoons whole wheat flour, bran sifted out (or ww pastry flour)
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons tamari
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
• 1 -1 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon tahini
• black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Toast the flour on low heat till fragrant, stirring often (be patient, this does take a few minutes, but don't turn on high heat and burn it!).
2. Remove from heat and whisk in the water, tamari, and garlic granules. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium, stirring often.
3. When partly thickened, add tahini and mix well. Stir in the mushrooms. Reduce heat, and let the gravy simmer covered for five minutes or so, till the mushrooms are softened.
4. Season with pepper and serve!

This gravy is terrific! And it was easy to make. I served it with Lentil-Walnut Loaf With Gravy (instead of that recipe's gravy) and mashed potatoes. I think the only improvement to be made would be to *double* the recipe. Really delicious! Reviewed for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap #15.
