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.

  1. This was pretty good- our first experience with French fried onions! (delicious). We followed AJO's advice and halved the gravy but would probably halve it AGAIN. Tasted great and did the trick but it didn't stand out to me. Will probably make again because it's inexpensive and simple.
     
  2. 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.
