Vegan Gravy
Thanksgiving is almost here, so I think it’s time to talk about the most important aspect of the holiday: gravy. Sure, the roast is nice, and potatoes are all good, but really, aren’t they just delivery vehicles for gravy?
Not everyone likes brussels sprouts, and some people don’t care for stuffing, but gravy is the one thing everyone can agree on. I like to make sure I have a lot of it on hand, because a gravy shortage on Thanksgiving would be a huge catastrophe. So, this recipe makes a lot of gravy.
Last year I shared a recipe for creamy cashew gravy. It’s one of my favorites, but it I usually end up with a lot of cashew recipes on Thanksgiving, as Creamed Kale and Green Bean Casserole are two menu mainstays. Plus, I realize there’s a need for nut-free recipes due to food allergies.
How to Make Vegan Mushroom Gravy
I will admit that I frequently buy gravy, because store-bought gravy means one less thing I have to make myself on Thanksgiving. But it’s super easy to make your own gravy, and it can be made in advance and stored in the freezer.
- First, you cook the shallots, mushrooms, and thyme until they’re soft.
- Then, you sprinkle a little flour in the pot and cook for another few minutes.
- Next, you add the stock, wine, and cornstarch and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Lower the heat and allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens, about 15 minutes.
- Then season with salt and pepper and pour it all over your plate!
Gravy isn’t just for the holidays. Go ahead and drown your lentil loaf in it, slather it onto veggie burgers, and pour it over fries for a midnight snack.
