Gonna be hosting a Friendsgiving for my vegan friends and need some ideas on what to make. Everyone in attendance is fine with eating vegan so I need some ideas for a main, some sides, stuffing, and dessert.

    Below is a recipe for my favorite vegan mushroom gravy. Goes great with mash potat, tofurky roast, and we use it as the liquid for green bean casserole. I strain out the chunks of mushrooms and onion cuz I like a smooth gravy and I don’t like mushrooms. Once you have a meat and a gravy, most sides are very easy to make vegan except maybe mac cheese. Good luck!

    Mushroom Gravy

    Ingredients: 1 cup of Mushrooms, sliced and diced.

    ½ large Onion, diced

    4 cloves of Garlic, minced

    2 cups of Veggie Broth or 1 cup strong Veggie Broth and 1 cup Soy Milk/Creamer*

    ¼ cup Margarine

    ½ cup nutritional yeast

    ¼ cup Olive Oil

    ¼ cup Soy Sauce

    ½ cup flour and ¼ - ½ cup water mixed

    ¼ cup chickpea flour (optional)

    ¼ tsp. each Thyme, Rosemary, Sage

    Salt and Pepper to taste.

    *You can use any broth, but here is by far the best way I have found to do this: Boil 1 cup of water and add in 2 tbsp. Better Than Bouillon’s No Chicken base (that’s twice as strong as they recommend). Whisk and keep on low heat, and then add it, along with the soymilk, when the recipe calls for it.

    Sauté the onions in the margarine and oil. When transparent, add garlic and mushrooms. Let them saute for 5 minutes, and then add in broth and soy milk creamer (or just broth, if using premade broth). At this time, also add soy sauce, nutritional yeast and all spices.

    Separately, whisk flour and ¼ cup water together. Add more water if thickener is too thick. Slowly add in until gravy is desired consistency. Do not use all of thickener if you don’t need to.
