- 28 ounces French-fried onions, divided

-
Gravy (use 1 1/2 cups)
- 2 cups onions, finely diced
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 8 cups vegetable stock
- 2⁄3 cup tamari
- 2 teaspoons rubbed sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 1⁄2 cups flour, browned (see note)
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh parsley
directions
- Grease casserole then combine half of the french fried onions with all of the ingredients and stir well.
- Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly.
- Sprinkle the remaining french fried onions over the top of the casserole and bake an additional 5 minutes or until onions are crisp and golden brown.

Creamy Onion Gravy:
- Saute onions in canola oil until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and saute an additional 2 minutes.
- Add 5 Cups of the vegetable stock, tamari, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper, and simmer for 7 minutes or until onions are tender.
- In a bowl, whisk together remaining 3 Cups vegetable stock and the browned flour.
- Remove saucepan with simmering broth from the heat.
- Quickly whisk flour mixture into the broth to avoid lumps. [And if you have lumps that is why they invented Gravy strainers or pop it into the blender and pulse once].
- Return to heat, whisking constantly, and cook until thickened.
- Whisk in parsley. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Yield: 6 1/2 cups.
- brown flour: put flour in pan over low heat and stir until it becomes a golden brown.
- Set aside to cool.
- Make ahead and store for months.
- Use the left over gravy for something like the herb roast or Ricker's Tofu roast.

We made this as a trial run for Thanksgiving, and thought that this turned out really good. I am happy to have something on the menu that I can actually eat since I'm following a low fat vegan diet. We used 1 lb of fresh steamed green beans instead of the frozen, but otherwise kept to the recipe. This makes a ton of gravy, and next time I will make half or even less of it as I ended up with much, much more than I can possibly use up. Thanks for posting this recipe, It's a keeper.

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review.
Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore.
I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck.
Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine.
No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
