MUSHROOMS AND GRAVY
1 lb. fresh mushrooms or canned mushrooms
4 Tbsp. Oil
4 Tbsp. flour
1 clove garlic, cut up
Salt and pepper
2 c. water
Vinegar (optional)
Clean, wash and drain mushrooms. Cut mushrooms up with garlic. Add 1 cup water and let simmer for about 1/2 hour. Make a brown sauce (Zaprashka), blending oil and flour together in a frying pan. Keep on medium heat and keep stirring until lightly browned. Cool slightly and add 1 cup cold water and blend until smooth. Pour this brown sauce into the cooked mushroom mixture. Cook the mushrooms until tender. Add salt and pepper and a little vinegar to taste.
