As we’re coming up on the holiday seas its time to start planning vegan options. This gravy is quick and easy, not requiring too many ingredients. Its also something that you could make ahead and keep refrigerated for 2-3 days to reduce the amount of cooking you have to do on the day. You could strain the gravy before serving to remove the mushrooms and shallots so that its smooth but I prefer to leave them in for a little bit of texture and a home-made feeling.
