Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
Finely chop the onion, garlic, celery, mushrooms, and zucchini. Set them aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic into the pan, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the celery, mushrooms, and zucchini to the pan, stirring occasionally for about 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly browned.
Stir in the fresh rosemary and thyme, along with the salt and black pepper, allowing them to cook for 1-2 minutes releasing their aroma.
Sprinkle the almond flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while stirring to avoid lumps, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Mix in the xanthan gum slowly, ensuring it dissolves completely to help thicken the gravy.
Add the soy sauce to the mixture, stirring well to incorporate all the flavors.
Allow the gravy to simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Once the gravy has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. You can blend it with an immersion blender for a smoother texture if desired.
Serve the keto hearty vegetable gravy over your favorite proteins or roasted vegetables.
