My friend introduced me to this amazing vegan gravy during our Thanksgiving potluck, and since then, it has become a staple for all our gatherings. We pour it over mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pretty much everything on the table. What’s more, it’s incredibly easy to make, taking mere minutes from start to finish!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic
- 6 yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose white flour
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 4 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons sage
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup white mushrooms
- 1/2 cup flour (for thickening)
- 5 – 6 teaspoons cornstarch (for thickening)
Instructions:
-
Heat the Oil: Pour oil into a saucepan and heat it over medium heat.
-
Sauté Garlic and Onions: Add minced garlic and finely chopped onions to the heated oil. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until they turn translucent and fragrant.
-
Create the Base: Sprinkle all-purpose white flour, nutritional yeast, and light soy sauce over the garlic and onions. Stir continuously until the mixture forms a thick, paste-like sauce.
-
Add Liquid: Gradually pour in the water while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
-
Seasoning: Add sage, ground black pepper, and salt to the gravy. Adjust seasoning according to taste preference.
-
Thicken: To achieve your desired thickness, gradually incorporate either cornstarch or flour into the gravy while stirring continuously. This step allows you to tailor the consistency to your liking.
-
Serve: Once the gravy reaches your preferred thickness and flavors meld together, remove it from heat. Serve the gravy hot over your favorite dishes.
This vegan gravy is not only perfect for Thanksgiving but also suits various occasions, especially potlucks and gatherings where you want to impress with a delicious, plant-based option. Enjoy the rich flavor and creamy texture without any guilt, as it’s low in cholesterol and packed with wholesome ingredients!
