Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon dried sage
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until fully melted and slightly bubbly.
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, dried sage, dried thyme, and salt to the gravy base, stirring to combine.
Let the gravy simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or soy sauce to taste.
Once thickened and well seasoned, remove the gravy from the heat. Serve it hot over mashed potatoes, veggie loaves, or any other dish of your choice.
