Super Fast Vegan Brown Gravy Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by melting vegan butter and whisking in flour with poultry seasoning and black pepper to form a golden brown roux, which builds a deep flavor foundation. Optional ingredients like mushroom powder, fresh rosemary, and garlic can be added to intensify the savory character. Gradually whisking in unsalted vegetable stock prevents lumps, resulting in a smooth, thickening gravy.
As the gravy simmers on low heat, tamari is stirred in to contribute saltiness and umami, balancing the flavors. Adjusting the thickness is done by simmering longer or adding extra stock as needed. The resulting sauce is versatile for pairing with vegan roasts, mashed potatoes, or other comfort foods.
Making gravy ahead and freezing in portions is possible, with gentle reheating and thinning with stock or water recommended to restore ideal consistency.
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 3 ¾ cups vegetable stock unsalted
- 5 teaspoons tamari
Optional Additions:
- 2 teaspoons mushroom powder
- 1 tablespoon rosemary minced fresh
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
Instructions
- Melt the vegan butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the butter is completely melted and bubbling, whisk in the flour, poultry seasoning, and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the roux is golden brown.
- If you are using any of the optional ingredients (mushroom powder, rosemary, or garlic), add them now and whisk for 30 seconds to distribute them evenly into the roux.
- Gradually pour in the vegetable stock while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Stir in the tamari and reduce the heat to low. Let the gravy simmer until it reaches your desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
Notes
- Achieve a deep golden brown roux by stirring constantly to develop rich flavor without burning.
- Pour vegetable stock gradually while whisking to avoid lumps, and seek assistance if needed.
- Adjust gravy thickness by simmering longer or adding extra stock as desired.
- Prepare a large batch ahead of time, freeze in portions, and reheat with added stock or water to restore consistency.
