Good Gravy

Mushrooms, onions and garlic make this the most “meaty” plant-based gravy we’ve tasted.  We love it on hot mashed potatoes with steamed peas, corn and carrots.  This combination makes a delicious, satisfying meal.

Start with potatoes chunked and boiled in enough water for making a soft fluffy mash saving 2 ½ cups potato broth to set aside for making the gravy.

You’ll need 1 onion, 8 ounces mushrooms, 4 garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon  rosemary chopped and water sautéed. A little wine is nice but not necessary. Add 2 1/2 cups water or potato broth and bring to simmer.

Make a paste of 2 tablespoons Braggs Aminos (soy sauce), 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (not bakers or brewers yeast), 2 tablespoons cornstarch stirring into simmering liquid to thicken for a few minuets. I always add a little fresh ground pepper and a few handfuls of fresh or frozen greens. Simmer till bubbling hot then serve gravy over hot mashed potatoes with favorite vegetables. Enjoy!

GOOD GRAVY! Good for you, good for animals, good for planet earth!
