Ingredients
3 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided
1 cup chopped white onion
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 ounces wild mushrooms, trimmed and chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup Merlot or other spicy red wine
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons whole-wheat or spelt flour
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, bring 1/2 cup broth to a
simmer. Add onion and garlic and cook for about 4 minutes or until onion is translucent. Stir in mushrooms,
rosemary and thyme and continue to cook about 2 minutes or until mushrooms release their liquid and start to
become tender. Add wine and cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining 3 cups broth and bring to a
simmer.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together tamari, yeast and flour to form a thick paste. Add mixture to skillet
about 1 teaspoon at a time, whisking constantly to make sure paste dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil 1 minute,
stirring constantly. Add pepper.
