tried this today with baked potatoes, quorn roast, asparagus and beets. the gravy really made the dish, though i added 2 tsp of salt.

i blended it at the end for a creamy texture... needed to add more water to get it to blend well.

I tried this today because I couldn't find non-animal mushroom gravy in the store. They all had beef fat in them. I was trying to make the Mushroom Stroganoff in the Peta Vegetarian Starter Kit which called for mushroom gravy. I think this recipe was better before I mixed it into the recipe. The Peta recipe was good, but didn't have the punch this had. Since I didn't have molasses, I used a little brown suger. Really good. I'll make again.
