Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sage, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring continuously to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, onion powder, sage, thyme, black pepper, and salt; stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
If the gravy becomes too thick, add more vegetable broth, a little at a time, until reaching the right consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
Serve warm over your favorite plant-based dishes.
