Guest guest Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Vegan Gravy* 1/2 cup vegetable oil or mild olive oil (taste) 3-6 cloves of garlic, squashed and minced very well 2-3 slices of yellow onion, chopped fine 1/2 cup all-purpose white flour 4 teaspoons nutritional yeast 1-2 tablespoons low- or reduced-sodium soy sauce (to taste) 1-2 teaspoons Kitchen Bouquet for coloring, if desired 2 cups broth or shiitake water 1/2 teaspoon sage 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 5 or 6 white mushrooms, sliced (optional) extra flour or cornstarch (if needed) Method: Measure the oil into a small saucepan. Cook the garlic and onion in it for about two minutes on medium or medium-low heat, until the onion is a bit tender and translucent. Add the flour, yeast, and soy sauce to make a paste. Add the water/broth gradually, stirring constantly. Bring the gravy to a boil on medium to medium-high heat, stirring constantly -- the gravy has to boil for it to thicken. Add pepper. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, if desired. Add Kitchen Bouquet, if desired. If the gravy is too thin for your taste, add one or two tablespoons of flour or small amounts of cornstarch to thicken it and add home-made-looking lumps. Notes: Lately I've just been using 1/4 c oil & flour and it turns out just a little thinner. I use Telma broth cubes which contain potato starch, so that may be a factor. This gravy takes about ten minutes to prepare. It is very flexible, reduce or add more spices or mushrooms to your taste. This gravy refrigerates well. Freezing is not recommended. The cooled gravy re-heats well in the microwave or on the stove. As shown, recipe makes a generous pint. Recipe can be halved. * Not made with real vegans.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi GB, It's just for coloring. It is made of caramel, water, carrots, onions, celery, parsnips, turnips, salt, parsley, spices, sodium benzoate mmm yum. It's very dark brown and doesn't have much flavor. There's no website on the bottle (how retro!) but there is a phone # 1-800-537-2823. I just use it to darken the gravy. When I don't it's a difference of gravy that looks like be*f gravy and gravy that looks like very light ch*cken gravy. Peace, Diane , " greatyoga " <greatyoga wrote: > > Would you please tell me what Kitchen bouquet is? > > Thank you > GB > > , " strayfeather1 " > <otherbox2001@> wrote: > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
