Homemade Vegan Browning Sauce image

A substitute for the famous browning sauce. I use all vegan and gluten-free ingredients. I made this up to use for pot roast. It can be used anywhere Kitchen Bouquet® is required or just to make tasty gravies. Add 1 tablespoon to recipes calling for browning sauce. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Add a little oil on top and it will keep longer.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your sauce a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and mushrooms.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. A good browning sauce should have a balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Some common spices and herbs used in browning sauces include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and thyme.
  • Cook the sauce slowly over low heat. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. Be patient and don't rush the process.
  • Use a high-quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your sauce. If you don't have any vegetable broth on hand, you can use water instead, but the flavor will be less robust.
  • Add a thickener to your sauce, if desired. This will help to create a rich, creamy texture. Some common thickeners include cornstarch, flour, and arrowroot powder.

Conclusion:

Making a delicious vegan browning sauce is easy and rewarding. With a little planning and effort, you can create a flavorful sauce that will add depth and richness to your favorite dishes.
