Golden Gravy

I'm in Love! Unbelievable but I haven't prepared a gravy for roasts or loafs before...... I really missed something during the years!!!!

But today I did change it and probably made the best ever gravy! The tastes immediately thrown be back to my childhood life. 

Well, I prepared sauces before.... and for you it may be something daily. Anyway I just have to post it. 

One good thing about the gravy - it is pretty fast and easy done. Good to be prepared ahead. 

Of course the gravy needed something to come with - thought I probably could eat it just like that. And what compares best with this gravy - of course a vegan loaf. (Still waiting to be prepared).

Vegan Golden Gravy

Serves 6

Ingredients:
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp. dried)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage (or 1 tsp. dried)
3 cups water
1/4 cup tamari 
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Direction:

Stir the nutritional year and flour in a heavy skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until fragrant but not burns down. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and saute for 10 minutes or until tender and beginning to lightly turn brown.

Add the garlic, thyme and sage and roast for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Whisk in the flour mixture thoroughly and then whisk in the water, tamari, salt and pepper.

Bring everything to a simmer, whisking frequently and continue to simmer until the Gravy is thick and creamy. (You can strain the gravy if you like or toss it in the blender to get is smooth. Myself I haven't done it)

The gravy will keep for 2 - 3 days, covered and refrigerated.
