Gravy Every Day

From Farm Where Life is Good

<p>We eat a lot of gravy&#8230;it is a simple one-pan way to make up something flavorful and then just add a protein and top a starch or greens. This recipe is where we start, and modify the herbs as cravings direct.</p>

Ingredients
1 lb mushrooms (your choice), sliced or chopped
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 Tbsp dry)
5-10 leaves fresh sage, chopped (or 1 tsp dry)
1/4-1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
4 cup vegetable broth/boullion
1/4-1 tsp sea salt (if needed)
1/2 cup wheat flour or corn starch
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 cup cold water (1/2 cup margarine for high fat version)

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Sauté mushrooms, onions, garlic in olive oil until onions clear and mushrooms tender. Add wine (if using); allow to evaporate a few minutes.
  2. Add parsley, sage and black pepper.
  3. Add vegetable broth, cover and bring to a light simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Add salt if desired.
  5. Mix flour and nutritional yeast with cold water in a container with lid. Shake vigorously to create a thick, pourable paste with no lumps. Add more water as needed.
  6. Alternatively, for high fat version, melt margarine in pan, mix in flour and nutritional yeast. Add more melted margarine as needed to make a paste (roux). Stir over low heat for 2-3min.
  7. Slowly pour paste into simmering broth while stirring constantly with whisk or slotted spoon. Note gravy consistency; stop adding or make up more paste as needed to achieve gravy consistency you prefer.
