Instructions

  1. Heat a medium-sized pot on medium heat.  To the pot add the butter. Cook for 30 seconds before adding your onion.  Turn to medium-low heat and cook for 5-10 minutes until softened.  Add the garlic and continue cooking about 5 more minutes. Be sure to stir often to avoid burning.
  2. Add the salt and pepper and saute 1-2 minutes to incorporate. Now add fresh thyme and rosemary and continue cooking, another 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add soy sauce and apple cider, cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Whisk in vegetable paste.
  4. Sprinkle the flour into the pot and use a whisk to combine, cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly - this will be more of paste-like texture.
  5. Gradually whisk in hot water, 1 cup at a time, whisking to make sure you get a smooth consistency. Then bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to keep a simmer for 4-5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired. If the gravy is too thick, whisk in ½-1 cup more water and simmer a bit longer to your desired consistency and flavour.

Notes

  • You can store the gravy, covered, in the refrigerator for 2 days. Heat it slowly over medium-low heat before serving and add a bit of water to loosen it up if needed.
  • If you prefer a smoother gravy, once the gravy is cooked and seasoned to your liking, let it cool a bit and then process with a hand blender or in a regular blender. Then add back to the pot and keep warm until serving.
