Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 tablespoons butter (can sub Earth Balance [see Vegan Option])
1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tablespoon Tamari or soy sauce (optional)
Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
  • Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Sweat the onions, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8-10 minutes. If they start to turn brown, turn down the heat - you're looking for translucent and tender, not golden.
  • Increase heat to medium. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring frequently, for three minutes.
  • Gradually stir in the vegetable broth and continue stirring, over medium heat, until thickened to a gravy consistency, about 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Stir in Tamari or soy sauce if using. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your gravy a richer flavor and texture. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and bell peppers.
  • Roast your vegetables before adding them to the gravy. This will caramelize the vegetables and bring out their natural sweetness.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your gravy. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Add herbs and spices to your gravy. This will give it a more complex flavor. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Simmer your gravy for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Thicken your gravy with cornstarch or flour. If your gravy is too thin, you can thicken it with a cornstarch or flour slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. To make a flour slurry, whisk together equal parts flour and water until smooth.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian gravy is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With a little creativity, you can create a vegetarian gravy that is sure to impress your family and friends.
