Ingredients
- 1tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2½tablespoons chopped onion
- 1clove garlic, peeled and minced
- 1cup thinly sliced white mushrooms
- 1tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1cup lowfat milk
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and set aside.
- Step 2
Place the remaining 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and the flour in the skillet and stir to combine. Turn the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour turns a deep brown color. Still stirring, gradually pour in the milk. Cook until the mixture thickens and the flour no longer tastes raw, about 4 minutes. Stir in the mushroom mixture and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Hit this with your stick blender for a smoother gravy. Add pan juices from roasted meat to make it even more delicious!
Made as written with the addition of a tablespoon of Madeira wine to the mushroom mixture and a teaspoon of dark soy sauce which added some more savory and umami notes.
I made this last weekend as written and it was a little too thick for our tastes, so I would advise having a little stock (or pan juices like another suggested) to add at the end to keep it from getting “flour-goopy”
Did hit it with the stick blender - excellent suggestion. Very nice gravy!
