This is a delicious gluten free mushroom gravy. You’ll want to pour it on beef, chicken, potatoes, etc. The wine makes it a winner, and your family won’t believe it’s gluten free.

What could be better than homemade mushroom gravy?

I’ll show you how easy it is to make even if you don’t have any pan drippings. Then we’ll add some wine and call it a flavor party in your mouth.

Deal? Let’s go.

Ingredients

You’ll only need 5 ingredients and some salt and pepper. You’ve probably got them right there in you pantry: butter, mushrooms, beef broth, gluten free all purpose flour, and some dry red wine.

Instructions

First, melt butter in large pan over medium-high heat. Add your mushrooms and cook and stir for about 10 minutes. Be careful not crowd the pan so the mushrooms can get nice and brown. Then set them aside while you make a roux in the same pan.

How to make a roux

Our roux is a mixture of butter and flour cooked up to make a paste, which serves as the base to thicken our sauce. We cook the flour for about three – five minutes. The roux will develop a rich nutty aroma as it cooks. This is to avoid a raw flour taste.

Next add your broth, wine, salt and pepper to pan. Whisk and stir until flour is dissolved. Continue stirring, bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir in the reserved mushrooms. Pour into a gravy boat, and you’re ready to serve.

Pro tips and recipe notes

Always use room temperature or cool wine and broth when adding to the hot roux. Gradually add and continuously whisk to separate the starches and thicken the gravy. Bringing the mixture to a low boil, enables the starches to thicken, about 2 minutes.
Keep your gravy warm. Gravy thickens as it cools which creates a pudding like texture so you will want to keep it warm in a thermos or water bath until you’re ready to serve.
How long will your gravy keep. Remember gravy is perishable. You can keep it in the fridge for 2 days.

Happy cooking! And if you have any questions, please reach out to me in the comments or shoot me an email and I’ll respond ASAP!
