Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Chicken broth, low-sodium
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté for approximately 5 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux, ensuring the flour is fully incorporated and begins to cook.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while constantly whisking to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, black pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Whisk to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow the gravy to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Once thickened, remove from heat and allow the gravy to cool slightly before serving over your favorite dishes.
