Start off by sauteing the shallots in 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil on medium high heat for only a couple of minutes.
Add the Crimini mushrooms and a dash of salt to your skillet and saute for an additional 5 minutes. You don’t want them to get too mushy, just til the point they release some of their water.
Line up your burgers in a baking or casserole dish.
Top with the sauteed mushrooms and onions.
Put to the side and work on your vegan beef gravy.
Saute the remaining vegetables in 2 Tablespoons EVOO and 1 Tablespoon Sesame Oil.
After about 7 minutes of sauteing, push your veggies to the edge of the skillet and add 1/2 cup all purpose flour, brewers yeast, cumin, salt and paprika
Lower the heat to medium low and mix everything together. Continue toasting the roux for about 3 minutes. At this point, slowly add water and continue mixing. You want to add 1/2 cup of water at a time. Slowly stirring and building your gravy.
After you have added two cups of water, add 1/4 cup of Soy Sauce. Mix.
Add another cup of water, mix. Then, using a micro-plane, add 1/4 clove of fresh nutmeg, mix.
The end result of the gravy should not be too thick. Just thick enough to lightly coat a spoon.
Add your finished gravy to the casserole dish. Cover all of the patties well.
Place the dish in a 400 degree preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes.
