Navy Bean Gravy Recipes

NAVY BEAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the thyme and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes more.
• While this cooks, mix the flour into the broth thoroughly. Pour this into a blender with the beans and soy sauce and blend until smooth.
• Add the onion and garlic mixture to the blender and blend until the onion no longer has any big chunks visible.
• Once smooth, pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened. Reduce heat to low.
• Make the gravy thinner, if you like, by adding water and stirring until evenly mixed. Add salt to taste.

NAVY BEAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil for about 5 minutes. Add the thyme and black pepper (I like a lot of black pepper in this) and cook for about 3 minutes more. While that is cooking, stir the flour into the broth until dissolved.
• If you have an immersion blender, then add the beans, broth mixture, and soy sauce to the saucepan. Blend immediately and lower the heat to medium. Stir the gravy often for about 10 minutes while it thickens.
• If you are using a regular blender, add the beans, broth mixture, and soy sauce to the blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the onion and the other stuff from the pan to the blender. Puree again until no big chunks of onion are left. Add back to the pot and stir often over medium heat to thicken.
• Once the gravy thickens, reduce the heat to low. Now you can decide exactly how thick you want it by adding splashes of water, anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Cook for about 20 more minutes to let the flavors deepen, stirring occasionally. Add water as necessary and taste for salt. Keep gravy covered and warm until ready to serve.
