Tastiest Homemade Mushroom Gravy Recipe (Packed with Flavor)
This is seriously the tastiest mushroom gravy recipe and is packed with flavor using pantry-staple ingredients for a versatile sauce that goes with everything!
Wash and slice the mushrooms, then sauté them in 1 tablespoon of olive oil on high heat until the moisture evaporates in the large skillet. Once it does, remove the pan from the stovetop.
Now, peel and grate the carrots and onions and press the garlic. Add all three along with all the spices to the sautéed mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes.
Then add dry seasonings, heavy cream, and ketchup. Stir well and sauté for another 2 minutes or so. Set aside until ready for the next step.
How to Make Gravy
Add unsalted butter to the Dutch oven and as soon as the butter melts, add sifted flour and whisk until it mixes with the butter and absorbs completely. This should take about 10 seconds.
Add water and bring this mixture to a boil stirring constantly with a hand whisk to prevent the flour from settling to the bottom of the pot and then burning.
Next, transfer the sautéed vegetables and seasoning to the Dutch oven. Whisk it all together thoroughly then add in chicken bouillon paste.
Finally, add dry bay leaves and dill or parsley. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 10 minutes on low heat stirring every minute or so.
Remove from the stove and let the gravy rest for at least half an hour before serving.
