The first time I made this I thought I’d reached culinary heaven. The lovely rich, earthy, meaty mushroom meets the sweet yet dry taste of sherry with a little nutty cheesy addition coming from the nutritional yeast. If it tastes this good, there must be something not so healthy about it, right? That’s what I thought but all the ingredients stack up to a powerhouse of Vitamin B nutrition which is excellent for the nervous system. So…I’m ultra excited to bring you this recipe that you can use as a sauce, a gravy, a salad dressing or even a soup. Just the other day I used it for breakfast as a nice topping for my scrambled egg (move over hollandaise); and I poured it over some steamed broccoli for lunch (Kapowee!–that means really nummy in Suzy Speak).
I pulled a little bit of magic with this to make it palatable for my daughter and husband. They’re both not fond of the unusual texture of mushrooms so I made sure I put it all in the Vitamix after and blended it until it was smooth. This happens to be the best “gravy” I’ve had in my life. And I must thank the coconut oil brand Alpha Health for their inspiration for this recipe.

Miso Mushroom Sauce
This tasty sauce is as versatile as it comes. I can eat it by the spoonful but if I'm being a little more restrictive then I use it as a topping for meatballs. I've even been known to top my salads with it. Don't knock it till you try it 🙂
