5
Add 2 more tbsp of avocado oil to the skillet.
6
Add sliced mushrooms and diced onions to the skillet, spreading them out as much as possible.

9
Cook for 1-2 more minutes.
10
Combine chicken broth and tamari in a glass or bowl.

Add arrowroot starch to the remaining broth and tamari mixture and whisk until no lumps remain.

Let the mushroom gravy simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens.

Tips
One pan recipes are great for minimal cleanup.
Do not salt mushrooms and onions initially, as it will make them sweat and steam, preventing them from browning.
The recipe is perfect for impressing a date or in-laws due to its complex taste with minimal effort.
