Ingredients:

• Fresh mushrooms (champignons, oyster mushrooms or others) – 300-400 g
• Onions – 1 pc.
• Flour – 1 tbsp.
• Sour cream or cream (optional) – 2-3 tbsp. spoons
• Butter or vegetable oil — 2 tbsp.
• Salt, pepper — to taste
• Water or broth — 300-400 ml
• Greens (dill, parsley) — optional

Step-by-step preparation:

• Cut the mushrooms into medium-sized pieces. If you are using frozen ones, defrost them and squeeze out excess moisture. If dried, soak them in warm water for 1-2 hours beforehand.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan, fry the finely chopped onion until golden brown. Add the mushrooms and fry over medium heat until excess liquid evaporates and a light crust appears (about 10-15 minutes).
• Sprinkle the mushrooms with flour, mix thoroughly and fry for another 1-2 minutes. The flour will thicken the gravy.
• Gradually pour in the water or broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat.
• Add sour cream or cream for a more delicate taste. Salt, pepper and simmer over low heat for another 5-7 minutes until thickened.
• The finished gravy can be sprinkled with fresh herbs. Serve hot.
