Comfort food, anyone? As you reach for that sweater, consider putting a hearty plate of mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy on the menu…all 100% plant-based, of course. Join CAA’s Tamuno Imbu online as he teaches how to make this full-flavored classic.
Most gravy recipes call for meat as a base for the flavor, but with this dish from the Vegan Huggs food blog, a special preparation of mushrooms does the heavy lifting. These creamy mashed potatoes with savory mushroom gravy can be served as a side dish or stand alone as a full meal. However you serve it, this dish will fulfill your tastebuds and those fall-weather cravings.
Tamuno adds, “I particularly love this dish because it can be stored for lunches or leftovers and it can be re-purposed the next day with some steamed veggies. “
