Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Total: 25 minutes
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- ¼ cup canola oil or vegan buttery spread
- 1 shallot finely chopped (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup)
- 4 garlic cloves minced about 4 teaspoons
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour use 1:1 flour substitute to make gluten free
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 ½ cups low sodium vegetable broth
- 1 ½ tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari to make gluten free
- ¼ teaspoon dry rubbed sage
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the shallot. Saute, stirring often, until the shallot is translucent and turning golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed so that it softens, but does not crisp or turn dark brown.
- Stir in the garlic. Let cook 30 seconds. Sprinkle on the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 full minute. Make sure no white bits of flour are remaining. Stir in the nutritional yeast.
- Slowly whisk in stock, adding a little at a time, until all of it is added and the gravy is smooth.
- Add the soy sauce, sage, and pepper. Bring the gravy to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring very very frequently and scraping a wooden spoon or spatula along the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking. Carefully taste and adjust seasoning to taste (be careful, it is HOT).
- Just before serving, give the gravy a stir and rewarm gently on the stove if needed. You also can let cool completely and refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Rewarm gently.
Notes
- Adapted from my Mushroom Gravy
- TO STORE: Refrigerate vegan gravy in an airtight storage container for up to 5 days.
- TO REHEAT: Reheat vegan gravy in a saucepan on the stovetop over low heat, stirring frequently. You can also warm it up in the microwave, although I prefer the stovetop method.
- TO FREEZE: Freeze gravy in an airtight container or zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating according to the instructions above.
