Mushroom gravy

INGREDIENTS

• 500g (3 cups) cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 60g (¼ cup) butter
• 40g (⅓ cup) all-purpose flour
• 1l (4 cups) chicken broth
• ½ tsp thyme
• Salt and pepper
• 1 garlic clove, sliced

METHOD

1. Place a large pan over medium-high heat and melt the butter.

2. Add half of the cremini mushrooms and sliced garlic, and cook for around 5 minutes (until excess liquid evaporates). Add another half and cook for 5 minutes more.

3. Make sure that you have no liquid left in the pan and that the mushrooms are golden-brown.

4. Season mushrooms with salt, pepper, and thyme. Add flour, stir and cook for a minute. Start pouring in broth in portions, whisking after adding each portion. 5. Cook for 10 minutes or until thick and bubbly. Serve right away.
