Chadwick Boyd makes sautéed mushroom gravy
Mushrooms are delicious, nutritious, and easy to prepare, and food and lifestyle expert Chadwick Boyd has some helpful tips for cooking them. He joins Sharon Lawson in the Good Day Kitchen to make a gravy that you'll want to serve at your next dinner party.
Chadwick Boyd gives an easy gravy recipe: Rinsing mushrooms in water is faster than cleaning with a dry cloth and doesn’t expose them to water long enough to make a difference. Packing mushrooms in a pan and adding water is also a good thing. It causes the mushrooms to steam first, allowing their porous cells to close up quickly and release their liquids. This prevents them from absorbing fat so less oil or butter is needed and the mushroom flavor is more intense. This recipe is two recipes in one: dinner party worthy sautéed mushrooms and mushroom gravy.
Sautéed Mushroom Gravy:
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
- 1 pound mushrooms of any variety, washed, trimmed and thinly sliced or roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup water
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup finely chopped sweet onion
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2½ cups chicken, beef or vegetable broth
- 1½ teaspoons miso, low-sodium soy sauce, tamari or fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream (optional)
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped herbs (fresh thyme leaves, chives, parsley, rosemary)
Directions
1. Place the mushrooms and salt in a 12-inch skillet. Add the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn the heat down slightly and let the water continue to boil until it is completely gone and the mushrooms just begin to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
2. Add the butter and olive oil and let melt for 1 minute. Stir to coat the mushrooms.
3. Add the onions and garlic and cook until they are soft, about 3 minutes. Stir occasionally.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms. Stir well. Then, pour in the broth and stir again. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer 8 to 10 minutes, or until thickened. Stir every few minutes.
5. Take off the heat. Stir in the miso, cream if using, pepper and herbs.
