  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 cup thinly sliced celery

  • 1 cup chopped carrots

  • ½ cup chopped onions

  • 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, carrots and onions and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until the mushroom liquid has mostly evaporated, about 5 minutes. Add flour, pepper and salt and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
