Vegan Gravy Recipe Tips:
- If you don’t like big bites of mushroom, chop them into smaller pieces and they will reduce even more when cooked down.
- Substitute gluten-free all-purpose flour for the regular flour for a gluten-free gravy.
- If you need to thicken up the sauce, just add a tiny bit more flour. Add it slowly though!
- The fresh herbs add a ton of flavor here, but dried herbs can be used in a pinch.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
