Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium carrot, finely chopped
- 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion, carrot, and celery to the pan. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.
Slowly whisk in the vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Add the soy sauce, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the gravy to thicken.
Adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley for a hint of freshness.
Serve hot over your favorite dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
