because the franny asked, and because i know you want it so so so badly, here is THAT RADICAL MUSHROOM-MISO GRAVY! this was of course given to me by vika who got it from someone who i think got it from the diet for a new america dood. so thanks baskin robbins dood! 1/4 c whole wheat pastry flour (but i've used just normal unbleached flour and it still turned out yumz) 1/3 c nutritional yeast 1/4 c brown rice miso 1 T olive oil 1 small onion finely chopped 1 c thinly sliced mushrooms 1 c water (the recipe originally calls for 2 c, but that always seems to be too much. last time we used 1.5 c and it was still like runny soup, so we've agreed to go with 1 c next time. we like thicker gravy. but if you like runny gravy, go you, it's yr berfday, etc) 1/2 cup hot water toast flour in skillet stir nutritional yeast, miso and hot water together in a small mixing bowl. in med saucepan, heat olive oil over med heat. add onion and cook, stirring until softened, about 5 min. add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until lightly brown, about 5 min. a the 1 cup of water to browned flour and whisk until combined. whisk flour mixture into the mushrooms and simmer, whisking often, until the mixture is thickened, 1-2 min. stir in miso mixture, bring to just a simmer and remove from heat. serve hawt! i keep dreaming about my god damned job when i sleep. i am thinking of returning to drinking since i can't remember dreaming about much of anything when i go to sleep with a belly full of wine, and that's preferable to dreaming i am at work for 8 hrs before i wake up and go to work for 8 hrs. it's so truly weak, doods. i became obsessed with margaret cho last night for like an hr before i went to sleep, but then it passed. not my love of the cho, but the obsession. fuck, i have to go to work. |
