Mushroom gravy recipe

Ingredients for Mushroom Gravy:

1/2 lb fresh button mushrooms (white or brown), sliced
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup chicken stock/broth (veggie or beef stock work also)
1 cup milk (use whatever kind you have)
Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Mushroom Gravy:

1. Rinse mushrooms (yes, I rinse my mushrooms), then pat them dry with paper towels and slice. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil. When oil is hot, add mushrooms and sautee until golden and soft. Remove mushrooms from pan.
2. Add 2 Tbsp butter to pan along with 2 Tbsp flour. Whisk until your flour roux is a light golden brown (1-2 min).
3. Whisk in 1/2 cup stock then 1 cup milk and stir until hot and thickened.
4. Add the mushrooms back to the pan, season with salt and pepper to taste and bring to a simmer. When gravy is at desired consistency, remove from heat (keep in mind it will still thicken slightly as it cools).
Enjoy it over buckwheat or these perfect mashed potatoes ! Mmmm. Comfort food :).
