Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons dried sage
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onion and garlic mixture. Stir well to create a paste (roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to eliminate any raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, a little at a time, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken.
Add the soy sauce, thyme, sage, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Lower the heat and let the gravy simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed, by adding more soy sauce, salt, or pepper.
Remove the gravy from the heat and serve warm over mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or your favorite dish.
