Cheater Mushroom Gravy
Cheater Mushroom Gravy
I call this 'cheater' because I use Lobo brand (Thai) gravy packets, there is western brand gravy packets here but those are about $2 each, the Thai brand I use, and it is good quality, is about 50 cents a packet. I like gravy and mashed potatoes, and I love a gravy with a lot of fresh mushrooms. This recipe is not rocket science or my creation, I am simply adding this for my own reference later.
Ingredients
- 2 packets beef gravy
- 225 grams fresh mushrooms, button, cremini, or Shiitake would be perfect, (8 oz)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt and pepper, as desired, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the mushrooms (and for Shiitake also remove the stems) and slice them. Heat a non stick pan on medium heat with the butter, add the mushrooms and season as desired with salt and pepper. Saute, stirring and turn them often until all the water released from them has just evaporated. Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
- In a small sauce pan, prepare the gravy per the packet instructions, normally whisk in 1 cup of water for each packet and heat to boiling while whisking or stirring constantly until thickened.
- When the gravy has thickened, remove that from heat and put the pan with the mushrooms back on the heat. Pour in the gravy and stir to mix, Heat until nice and hot, season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve over mashed potatoes.
