Ingredients
  • 500g of potatoes
  • 100ml of non-dairy milk without added sugar
  • 1 small onion(~140 g)
  • 240g of mushrooms(I used white button mushrooms)
  • 120g of fresh spinach
  • 250ml of vegetable stock(or more, if you prefer more liquid gravy)
  • 2tablespoons of oil + extra oil for cooking the onions
  • 1tablespoon of flour(important – tablespoon must be leveled)
  • salt
Instructions
  1. peel the potatoes, cut them in smaller pieces and put to boil;
  2. while the potatoes are boiling, cut in small pieces the onion and cook it in a small amount of oil;
  3. while the onion is cooking, cut half of the total amount of mushrooms in thin strips (to make the gravy extra creamy) and the other half in slices. Add the cut mushrooms to the onion and continue cooking;
  4. meanwhile cut the spinach in tiny pieces and add them to mushrooms and onion. Cover the frying pan with a lid and cook until the liquid from spinach and mushrooms has evaporated;
  5. check if the potatoes are soft. If so, drain the water and set the potatoes aside to cool down a bit;
  6. when the onion pieces are soft and golden and the liquid from mushrooms and spinach has evaporated, sprinkle over the ingredients in the frying pan the flour and mix everything well together until you don’t see white flour anymore;
  7. set the flame/heat to medium high and gradually add vegetable stock in the frying pan by constantly mixing everything together. Thanks to the flour the vegetable stock will become thicker. Once the desired thickness of the gravy is reached, adjust the salinity of the gravy according to your taste and take the gravy off the flame/heat. In case your gravy is too liquid for your taste, mix in it some extra flour and cook it for a bit longer, but be aware that the gravy will get a bit thicker in any case once off the flame/heat;
  8. by using a fork or potato masher, mash the potatoes by gradually adding non-dairy milk. When the desired thickness of the mashed potatoes is obtained, mix in oil and salt. Put the mashed potatoes on a plate, pour the mushroom and spinach gravy over them and serve immediately.
