Vegetarian Mushroom Gravy

Sandy in California's Note:

Great on mashed potatoes or anything else. I will be bringing this to my sisters for Thanksgiving as an alternative to the turkey gravy for the vegetarians. This recipe came from the Sundays at Moosewood recipe for Shepherds Pie which I've posted separately, but this gravy is so good that I make it and serve it on everything.

I made this to accompany your shepherd's pie. I pulsed it to make it more gravy-like but otherwise made it as directed. It was delicious. Made for PAC Spring 12

Yum, yum! We made this tonight to go with the vegan shepherd's pie we made and it was fantastic.
