These cozy beans, greens, mushrooms, and miso gravy on toast make for a comforting vegan meal for the cool months of fall and winter.

It’s hard to believe that we are already a few days into October! Hoping you had a restful and enjoyable weekend, and that you’re able to ease your way into a new week. October is such a beautiful month in Ontario that I’ve been spending as much time outdoors as possible, trying to soak up all the vibrant colours and scents while they last. 

Here is a wonderfully comforting recipe, perfect for this season. Beans, greens, mushrooms, and miso gravy on toast are one of my favourite meals of late. Nothing beats a thick slice of hearty whole grain sourdough bread topped with umami-rich gravy, chickpeas, and veggies for lunch or quick dinner. This plus a bowl of soup- such as this cauliflower, fennel, and parsnip soup– makes a fabulous autumn meal.

ingredients you’ll need

  • For the miso-tahini gravy: Olive oil, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, vegetable broth, chickpea or white miso, tahini, nutritional yeast, toasted sesame oil, flour, and maple syrup. 
  • For the vegetables and chickpeas: Olive oil, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, chickpeas, and collards or kale. 
  • For the toasts: All of the above, plus eight slices of whole grain sourdough bread, toasted. 

step by step instructions

  1. Make the miso tahini gravy: In a medium saucepan, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a bowl, whisk together the broth, miso, tahini, nutritional yeast, toasted sesame oil, flour, and maple syrup. Add this to the saucepan and cook, whisking often, until the mixture thickens. If, for some reason, the mixture isn’t thickening, add more flour, 1 tbsp at a time, dissolved in a couple tablespoons of water or broth. Transfer to an upright blender and blend until smooth. (Alternatively, if you have an immersion blender, you can blend the gravy right in the pot.) Transfer back into the pot. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve. 
  2. Cook the vegetables: Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and a pinch each salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 5-8 minutes. Next, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until all the water has evaporated and the mushrooms are browned on both sides, stirring occasionally. Stir in the thyme and rosemary, followed by the chickpeas. Finally, add the chopped collards or kale and cook just until they are tender and bright green. Pour 2 cups of the gravy over top to start with, and add more if desired. 
  3. Toast the bread and spoon the mushrooms, beans, greens, and gravy mixture over top, counting on two toasts per person.

    I just discovered your blog recently! This is the first recipe of yours that I made, and I’ll be making many more. I loved the flavours in this dish, especially the gravy. I used dark miso because it was what I had and it was still delicious. Thanks for the recipes, can’t wait to discover more!
