Changed up the make-ahead mushroom gravy, by request of one of my children, who wanted less mushroom but still a nice rich gravy. Still keeping the original recipe for 'shroom fans (like my cousin).
Additions:
1) 2 more shallots
2) A whole white onion
3) turkey/chicken drippings if you have them (but go slowly here)
Subtractions:
1) Reduce crimini and shiitake mushrooms to use about 12 mushrooms total
2) Eliminate porcini mushrooms, and therefore
3) No porcini mushroom liquid, which means
4) At least 30-45 minutes of prep time
I'm calling it Make-ahead Mushroom (+Onion) Gravy. It refrigerates and re-heats well. It doesn't look like hardened grease in the fridge and doesn't separate when microwave-reheated.
I had the last of it for lunch (see above) Toasty, flaky croissant with leftover turkey and the last of the new gravy. It was a lovely way to start the afternoon. Click here for the recipe.
