Wild Mushroom Gravy

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 c. chopped onion
• 1 tsp. dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 8 oz. oyster mushrooms, sliced
• 1/4 c. dry sherry
• 3 c. mushroom stock
• 1 1/2 tbsp. almond flour (or use all-purpose, wheat, oat, rice etc)
• 2 tbsp. water
• 2 tbsp. olive oil (or ghee/butter/margarine as desired)
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper

Instructions:

• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté at least 1 minute. (I cook a little longer as I love the caramelized onion flavor.)  Add thyme, salt, and mushrooms and sauté about 8 minutes, or until mushrooms are browned. Add sherry and cook until liquid evaporates. Stir in mushroom broth. Bring to a boil and cook until gravy is reduced to about 2 cups (about 14 minutes).
• Whisk together almond flour and water in a small bowl. Add mixture to skillet; return to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in oil (or ghee/butter) 1 tablespoon at a time and pepper.
