Vegan & Gluten Free Golden Gravy

Prep time: 10 – 15 minutes

Makes: Approximately 8 servings

 Ingredients:

  • 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • ½ cup gluten free flour (store bought or make your own – see recipe below!)
  • 2 cups water
  • 3 TBSP. Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (or Tamari)
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • Sea salt (adjust according to your taste)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste, but I add about ¼ tsp.)

Directions:

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté the onions until soft (about 5 minutes) – stir occasionally.
  2. Add the nutritional yeast and gluten free flour and mix with the onions for about 2 minutes. The mixture will get dry.
  3. Add water, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (or Tamari), thyme, and garlic powder. Continue to cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture is very thick.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Add sea salt and black pepper to taste.

 

GLUTEN FREE FLOUR BLEND:

In a large bowl, combine the following ingredients and whisk until mixed well:

  • 1 ½ cups brown rice flour
  • ½ cup potato starch
  • ¼ cup white rice flour
  • ¼ cup tapioca flour
  • 1 tsp. xanthan gum (this is optional but acts as an extra binder since there is no gluten).

Once all dry ingredients are mixed, pour into a glass jar (or sealed container) and store in the refrigerator. It should last a couple of months in the fridge.
