A gluten free and vegan Mushroom Gravy that is the perfect alternative to share at your Christmas roast this year.
Deep in colour and flavour it looks just like a beef gravy.
When you tell your guests you made your own gravy it always gets you bonus points!
Best of all it is so simple to make and is absolutely packed full of flavour.
It goes incredibly well poured over my Christmas Nut Roast or Rosemary Infused Roast Potatoes
It’s a recipe that will really impress your family/friends.
If you sieve out the hole mushrooms you get a beautifully smooth vegan gravy.
Or you can leave it with the whole mushrooms in for added texture.
P.S I have created a special page for Christmas which will include my recipes perfect for the Christmas period!
Also make sure you subscribe to my blog for a special Christmas newsletter that will contain every recipe in one place to help you this Christmas!

Perhaps this is personal preference but I think the cocoa powder doesn’t go well. Without it I think the sauce was good.
Was the reason for it just to give it the colour?
Would probably give a 5 without cocoa powder
Great recipie, son thoroughly enjoyed them. He is allergic to wheat and eggs. Tried them myself and they were quite nice . Will be cooking this recipie again Will definitely use your website again so that we can enjoy meals together as a family instead of cooking separate dishes for the family.
I love this gravy. It’s serious simple and the most delicious gravy ever. Even the meat eaters in my life love it.
Best bit though, I strain the gravy, then add some creme fresh and blue cheese for an awesome pasta sauce. Happiness in a bowl. Thank you.
Aww thank you Helen 🙂 so pleased to hear that!
Do you have a hardcopy recipe book….hate all this technology. I lose it all the time.
Hi Clair,
Thank you for the comment! It is something I am working towards for 2018… Right now I just have a free eBook and my blog recipes. It is probably best to write down the website address or bookmark it on your phone/PC so you can remember to come back or follow me via my Facebook or Instagram pages @healthylivingjames.
Hope that helps,
James
