Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the all-purpose flour and nutritional yeast until well combined and no lumps remain.
- Gradually pour in the vegetable broth while continuously whisking to prevent any clumping. This will help create a smooth base for the gravy.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and continue whisking the mixture constantly to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
- Add the soy sauce and garlic powder to the mixture, stirring to incorporate all the flavors thoroughly.
- Simmer the gravy for 5-7 minutes, whisking periodically, until the mixture begins to thicken and reaches a smooth, consistent texture.
- Taste the gravy and season with salt and pepper as needed. Adjust seasonings to your personal preference.
- If the gravy becomes too thick, thin it out by whisking in additional vegetable broth, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite vegan dishes.
Tips
- Whisk Away: To achieve a lump-free gravy, make sure to whisk the flour and nutritional yeast together thoroughly before adding the vegetable broth. This ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
- Heat Control: Keep the heat at medium while cooking to prevent the gravy from sticking to the pan. Constant whisking will help maintain an even consistency and prevent burning.
- Flavor Boost: Don’t hesitate to experiment with additional spices! A pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of onion powder can add an exciting twist to your gravy.
- Adjust Consistency: If your gravy thickens too much, simply add more vegetable broth a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired thickness.
- Serving Suggestions: This versatile gravy pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, but it also shines over rice, quinoa, or as a savory topping for vegan shepherd’s pie.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare this gravy in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of broth if it thickens up too much.
