Instructions
1
In a large, heavy sauté pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
2
Once the oil is hot, add the portabella mushrooms and sauté for about 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are cooked through and slightly browned.
3
Remove the sautéed mushrooms from the pan and place them on paper towels to drain excess moisture.
4
In the same pan, melt the vegetable butter over medium heat. Add the coarsely grated onions and sliced mushrooms, cooking and stirring frequently until the onions become translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
5
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the onion-mushroom mixture and stir well. Continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
6
Gradually stir in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a boil while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and mix in the Dijon mustard, cognac, paprika, and vegan sour cream until well combined and creamy.
