ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1⁄2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1⁄3 cup canola oil
- 1⁄2 cup chopped onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp. dried)
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage (or 1 tsp. dried)
- 4 cups water
- 1⁄4 cup tamari (or Nama Shoyu or other quality unpasteurized soy sauce)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
directions
- Stir the nutritional year and flour in a heavy skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or until fragrant. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 10 minutes or until tender and beginning to turn brown.
- Add the garlic, thyme and sage for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
- Whisk in the flour mixture thoroughly and then whisk in the water, tamari, salt and pepper.
- Bring to a simmer, whisking frequently and continue to simmer until the racy is thick and creamy. You can strain the gravy if you like or toss it in the blender for a minute or so, to get it smooth. (However, it tastes great even without straining!).
- The gravy will keep for 2 - 3 days, covered and refrigerated.

This is such a flavorful gravy, just great! I wasn't sure how it would turn out browsing the ingredients list, but it was fantastic. The ideal accompaniment for Recipe #283551 (I found a single recipe here serves a double batch of cutlets). FYI I spent 0.41 cents at the store for exactly 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast (yes, I brought my measuring cup!) Give this a try if you are considering it, you won't be disappointed!

This is a very good gravy! My first attempt at a vegan gravy. Very happy with the results! I used Braggs instead of tamari, and added chopped mushrooms along with the onions after they had softened up a bit. I also did not use any oil. Just simmered the onion in water instead. Yummy!! Thanks so much for sharing. Oh, and I served it over the Chickpea Cutlets as you suggested. :O)
