Holiday vegan mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy served in a white bowl

This mushroom gravy will elevate any dish. It’s so delicious and easy to prepare that you’ll never buy pre-made gravy again.

The secret ingredient is the porcini mushroom powder. To make it, add some dried mushrooms to a blender and process until reduced to a powder. It works with any mushroom. Specialty mushrooms can be expensive, and it is a great way to incorporate the taste at a fraction of the cost. I love to have it on hand. It adds a nice umami flavor to any dish. If you can’t find porcini, you can use dried shiitake. They are widely available in the international aisle of most supermarkets or at specialty Asian supermarkets.

This mushroom gravy is perfect when paired with our delicious Vegan Wellington for a holiday feast everyone will remember!
