I was thinking this was from Veganomicon, but it's actually from The Real Food Daily Cookbook. It is so good my anti-vegan son said he LOVED it before he realized that it was vegan! It goes well over anything, but one of our favorites for it is Chickpea Cutlets, Recipe #283551. Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

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)
4 cups water
1/4 cup tamari (or Nama Shoyu or other quality unpasteurized soy sauce)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Stir the nutritional year and flour in a heavy skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or until fragrant. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 10 minutes or until tender and beginning to turn brown.
  • Add the garlic, thyme and sage for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Whisk in the flour mixture thoroughly and then whisk in the water, tamari, salt and pepper.
  • Bring to a simmer, whisking frequently and continue to simmer until the racy is thick and creamy. You can strain the gravy if you like or toss it in the blender for a minute or so, to get it smooth. (However, it tastes great even without straining!).
  • The gravy will keep for 2 - 3 days, covered and refrigerated.
