Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Tamari or soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the vegetable broth, almond milk, nutritional yeast, tamari or soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, and ground black pepper.
Whisk together to combine all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure there are no clumps of spices.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, make the slurry by dissolving the cornstarch in cold water until there are no lumps.
Once the broth mixture is simmering, slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while whisking continuously to avoid any lumps forming.
Continue to whisk constantly as the gravy thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes. Adjust the heat as necessary to maintain a simmer.
Once the gravy has reached your desired consistency, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.
Remove the gravy from the heat and allow it to sit for a minute to set slightly.
Serve immediately over your favorite dishes, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
