Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons White miso paste
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the finely chopped yellow onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the saucepan, stirring constantly, to form a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Whisk in the nutritional yeast and turmeric powder for a golden color and rich flavor.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, while whisking continuously to ensure a smooth consistency.
Stir in the soy sauce, maple syrup, and white miso paste until fully dissolved.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Simmer the gravy for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat and strain (if desired) for an ultra-smooth texture.
Serve warm over your favorite holiday dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
