Ingredients:

1 teaspoon of Earth Balance or olive oil

1 clove of garlic

¼ cup of chopped onion

1 cup of chopped mushrooms

another 3 tablespoons of Earth Balance or oil

½ cup of whole wheat flour

2 cups of unsweetened soy or almond milk

½ cup of water

½ teaspoon of salt

¼ teaspoon of black pepper


Directions:

In a small skillet melt 1 tablespoon of butter or oil and sauté the onions, garlic and mushrooms. Cook for 6-8 minutes until soft and browned. Set aside.

In a sauce pan, melt 3 tablespoons of earth balance or oil on medium-low heat and add in flour. Saute flour for 5-10 minutes to allow it to thicken. Slowly add in milk and water, and whisk while you add it to prevent lumps from forming. Once it's smooth and well blended add in mushroom mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
