Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are very soft and golden brown.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring to fully incorporate the flour.
Gradually add the vegetable broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Stir in the soy sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning if necessary.
If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the gravy with an immersion blender until smooth.
Serve warm over mashed potatoes, stuffing, or your favorite plant-based dishes.
