Vegetarian Gravy With Vegemite

Submitted by Brighde

"This recipe is from Rose Elliot's Vegetarian cookbook and I have used it for about 15 years now and it is wonderful with nut roasts. We even use it with fries and cheese to make a Vegetarian Quebec Poutine where I work.Do not use a blender to break up the onions. It just doesn't seem to work. Can be frozen and the recipe is easily doubled."

I wish I could give this 10 stars! This is so wonderful. This is so much better than any store bought vegetarian gravy. Don't be scared of the vegemite, it just gives it a really earthy and meaty flavour. Fantastic!!
