Ingredients
- 0.45 kg baby potatoes
- 2 cups button mushrooms
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.125 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the peeled and halved baby potatoes and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Step 2: In a large skillet, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
- Step 3: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until they are moist and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 4: Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine, cooking for an additional minute. Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Add soy sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 5: Gently fold in the cooked baby potatoes to the mushroom gravy. Allow the mixture to simmer for around 5 minutes so the potatoes soak up the flavors and everything is heated through.
- Step 6: Spoon the savory gravy herb mushroom peelers onto a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Tips & Variations
- Use cremini or shiitake mushrooms for a deeper flavor profile.
- Add a splash of white wine with the broth for extra acidity and aroma.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with more olive oil and use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary can be used instead of dried for a brighter taste.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Adding a splash of vegetable broth when reheating can help restore the gravy’s consistency.
