VEGETARIAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce to form a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in the broth. Season with sage, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until thickened.

EASY VEGETARIAN ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
• Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Sweat the onions, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8-10 minutes. If they start to turn brown, turn down the heat - you're looking for translucent and tender, not golden.
• Increase heat to medium. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring frequently, for three minutes.
• Gradually stir in the vegetable broth and continue stirring, over medium heat, until thickened to a gravy consistency, about 3 - 4 minutes.
• Stir in Tamari or soy sauce if using. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

• Add salt and pepper to taste.
