x Black pepper & salt to Taste Thyme In a non-stick skillet, stir the flour over medium heat until it begins to smell toasted and turns very light brown. Pour flour to a small bowl && set asside. Reduce heat to medium && steam/saute onions && garlic, using teaspoons of the water or stock to keep them from sticking, until the onions are soft. Add mushrooms, cover, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. The mushrooms will release liquid, cook them until it has mostly evaporated. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom && onion mixture and mix. Stir water or stock, shoyu, and molasses into the mushrooms && onions. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens. Season with herbs, pepper, && salt. Serve immediately. This is nice on baked potatoes, pasta, thick toast, etc. If you mix in a cup or so of soy milk (not flavored) it makes a lovely soup. Modified from _Laurel's Kitchen_
