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.

  • 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 to create a flavorful and nutritious gravy. Consider using a combination of mushrooms, onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Roast the vegetables before adding them to the gravy. This will enhance their flavor and give the gravy a richer color.
  • Use a flavorful broth or stock as the base of the gravy. Vegetable broth or stock is a good option, but you can also use mushroom broth or chicken broth if you prefer.
  • Thicken the gravy with flour, cornstarch, or arrowroot powder. If you are using flour, be sure to cook it in a little bit of fat before adding it to the gravy. This will help to prevent the gravy from becoming lumpy.
  • Season the gravy to taste with salt, pepper, and herbs. You can also add a splash of white wine or sherry to the gravy for extra flavor.
