Ingredients

• 1 small dice shallot
• 3 minced garlic clove

3. Add garlic and cook until they start to turn brown; a little salt and pepper
4. Add mushrooms; some salt and pepper and fresh thyme or dried Italian herb, cook for about 10-15 minutes; they should release their liquid and look like well-cooked mushrooms
5. Add butter, flour, and add a little oil if the flour is too dry (should look like a paste)
6. Cook for 5 min stirring constantly
7. Slowly add 1 cup of veggie stock (slow pour or little at a time) and stir (this will prevent lumps)
8. Add the rest of the veggie stock and stir
9. Simmer for about 15-20 min until it reduces and thickens to coat the back of a spoon
10. It should thicken more when it cools
