This easy 15-minute vegan gravy (Broke Bank Vegan) is very simple to make, and only needs a few ingredients. It’s made with all-purpose flour and good veggie stock, onion, garlic, tamari (like ‘posh soy sauce’), salt, pepper and vegan butter (Flora is free from palm oil).
The secret ingredient is white miso (umami-rich Japanese condiment – omit if pregnant/nursing as it’s unpasteurised).
Before cooking, read up on kitchen safety for people and pets.
Made too much gravy? No problem. Allow it to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of vegetable broth if it’s too thick.
Where to Buy Good Vegan Gravy
Marigold Organic Gravy Powder is free from palm oil, made with carrot/onion juice, spices, white mushrooms, chicory and yeast extract. You can find it in health stores and some supermarkets.
The best-selling gravy brands are marketed as ‘traditional and natural’. But in fact, most are just a cheap mix of ingredients and nothing to write home about: palm fat etc. Most are also owned by big multi-national brands (not ‘nostalgic’ at all and nothing to do with the local organic food movement).
