Step 1

In a large frying pan, casserole pan or wok, saute the onions and garlic in the olive oil until soft.

Step 2

Add the carrots and cook gently for a few minutes so they start to soften.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms and season the vegetables with salt and pepper. Add the thyme and stir in. Allow the mushrooms to soften and release their juices.

Step 4

Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir in. This will help to thicken the gravy.

Step 5

Add the stock, wine, tomato puree and worcestershire sauce or whichever sauce you are using. Stir well.

Step 6

Cook gently for 20-30 minutes until the gravy has thickened and all the flavours have amalgamated.

Step 7

Season with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Serve over mash.

Step 9

Enjoy!

Step 10

The alcohol in the wine evaporates during cooking, but if you really don't want to use it you can add some balsamic vinegar.

Step 11

If you don't have worcestershire sauce, you could add soy sauce, mushroom ketchup, brown sauce or BBQ sauce. It's there to make the gravy richer and give it a bit of zing.

Step 12

You can use flat cap mushrooms or chestnut mushrooms instead of closed cap mushrooms. Any sandard mushroom will do. Wild mushrooms don't work as well in this dish.
