Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil or dairy-free margarine
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, check labels for vegan/dairy-free
- 0.5 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil or dairy-free margarine over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onion is translucent and soft.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to combine, creating a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the roux is a light golden brown.
Slowly whisk in the vegetable broth, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the gravy from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a smoother texture.
Serve hot over your favorite dishes such as mashed potatoes or roasted meats. Enjoy your dairy-free brown gravy!
