Vegetables and Gravy
Description
Vegetables and Gravy highlights russet potatoes boiled until soft in vegetable broth, which provides the base for a flavorful gravy. The gravy's body develops by whisking in a flour and milk mixture, then simmering with herbs like thyme and sage along with onion and garlic powders, and soy sauce for depth. Frozen mixed vegetables are stirred in near the end just long enough to thaw and warm through. Butter finishes the dish, smoothing the gravy and adding richness. This method creates a comforting, thick sauce that coats the vegetables and potatoes well, offering a simple yet hearty vegetarian preparation that pairs nicely with grains, bread, or as a topping for mashed potatoes or roasted dishes.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs. russet potato $1.96
- 2 cups vegetable broth $0.26
- 1 cup milk $0.20
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour $0.03
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce $0.12
- 1/2 tsp thyme $0.05, dried
- 1/2 tsp sage $0.05, dried
- 1/2 tsp onion powder $0.05
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.02
- 1/4 tsp black pepper $0.02, freshly cracked
- 12 oz. mixed vegetables $1.00, frozen
- 2 Tbsp butter $0.22
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02, or to taste
Instructions
- Peel and cube the potatoes into ¾-inch pieces.
- Add the cubed potatoes to a large pot with the vegetable broth. Cover the pot, turn the heat on to medium-high, and allow the broth to come up to a boil. Continue to boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are boiling, whisk together the milk and flour.
- Once the potatoes are tender, turn the heat down to medium and add the flour and milk slurry. Also add the soy sauce, thyme, sage, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Allow the liquid in the pot to come back up to a simmer, at which point it will thicken to a gravy.
- Add the frozen vegetables to the pot, stir to combine, then allow them to heat through.
- Stir the butter into the gravy until melted and combined. Give the gravy a taste and add salt, pepper, butter or other seasonings to your liking. Serve hot!
