Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cups chopped brown mushrooms
4 cloves garlic, smashed
4 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cups vegetable stock, more, if you'd like the gravy thinner
¼ cup red wine or stock
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon EACH: fresh thyme leaves and rosemary
Salt and pepper, to taste
Method* Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until it is translucent.
* Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and are starting to brown, about 8 minutes.
* Add the garlic and tomato paste and let the tomato paste caramelize for a minute, stirring constantly.
* Add all remaining ingredients and scrape the bottom of the pan to remove any bits that are stuck to the bottom.
* Carefully pour the gravy into your blender and blend on high until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
