Rosemary Mushroom Au Jus
This is a great vegetarian sauce the can be served with vegetable meat loaf and is delicious on seared tofu. It can even be used as a stir-fry sauce for tofu, tempeh, seitan and your favorite vegetables. If you're using it with chicken, I suggest replacing the water with chicken stock for a richer poultry flavor. Makes 2 Cups.


Ingredients:

1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup chopped onions
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 pound button mushrooms, sliced (about 1 cup)
5 teaspoons tamari soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
5 teaspoons rice wine (mirin)
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
2 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot
1/8 teaspoon dried thyme


Instructions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes more or until the mushrooms are tender. Add the dried herbs, salt, and pepper.

2. In a saucepan, combine 3 cups water, the tamari and wine. Bring to a simmer and add ingredients from the skillet. Simmer for 10 minutes.

3. In a small bowl, stir together the arrowroot with 2 1/2 tablespoons water, then add to the simmering sauce. Cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
