Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped yellow onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the pan and stir well to coat the onions and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the gravy simmer for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens.
Slowly whisk in the unsweetened almond milk and cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the gravy is smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and serve warm over your favorite dishes.
