Vegan Gravy

 Your directions don't say when to add the sage.  I love the taste of sage so it might be important.

This is good-definitely a special occassion gravy as it is far richer and more time consuming than others that I made.  But a great recipe to fancy up a traditional dish.

  This is definitely as good as everyones says! I have always used vegan with vegeance pubk rock chickpea gravy, sometimes leaving the chickpeas out.. so I was skeptical,, I don't love this one better just differently! So good I was eating it with the spoon!

This is my standard gravy recipe for everything! I made a big batch last night to put into our Thanksgiving pot pie today. Its great on potatoes and Meetloafs too. So freakin good!
I add the sage whenever I think of it...doesn't really matter. I think yesterday it was while I was adding the water.

I didn't like this gravy.  The balsamic vinegar was overpowering.  I followed another reviewers suggestion of only using a splash.  Even the few drops I put in was too many.  If I make this again I will skip it entirely.

This gravy would have been the most perfect, vegetarian gravy I've had since becoming a veg... except for the red wine vinegar.  The vinegar did lend a complex flavor to the gravy, but when I'm trying to match mom's gravy, it would be better without.  I added the full 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar and just 1 tsp of balsamic vinegar based on the reviews... but even that was too much.  I am going to make it again today and I will just add a splash of each (1 tsp each maybe).  Other then that, the texture was perfect, and it had such a wonderful flavor.  DELICIOUS!

I made this for Thanksgiving, and wish I had read through a  bit more of the comments before doing so, because I suffered from the "too much vinegar" syndrome like others...  However, even with that, it was really good and I am looking forward to making it again... only next time I will cut the vinegar to a fraction of what is recommended, and increase both the nutritional yeast and the mushrooms... Mmmmm, mushrooms.....

Even with the super vinegar-iness it was great on my Thanksgiving tofu loaf, mashed potatoes and stuffing! Enjoyed by veg and non veg alike.

This recipe is awesome! I left out the vinegar since others omitted it, but I kept everything else the same. I used vegetable buillon, which made the gravy a little salty but the mashed potatoes I served them on had less salt so it worked well. The bf seemed to like it too. I'll definitely keep this as my default gravy recipe. I will add mushrooms next time for variety. Thanks!

Great recipe! I used braggs, a little more onion, added cayenne & thyme and a splash of red wine vinegar - very delicious! I would have liked a browner color, but I'm sure if I cooked the roux longer or added mushrooms this could have been achieved...

Tastes great on top of the vegan drop biscuits in TJOVB

I just left my partner for this gravy it is so good. This gravy has broken up our household. I have never felt for gravy like I do for this. Seriously, never been a gravy fan, but this was amazing. I ended up using quite a few liberal splashes of both vinegars, so probably about 2t each, and only used a bit of salt as I used veg broth instead of just water. I thought the vinegar added a nice little bite rather than just serving as liquid salt.

Oh yeah! I would totally ditch my DH for this gravy! We had it today too. LOVE IT!!!!

My (unfortunately non-vegan, and picky as hell) boyfriend *loved* this. He ate most of it. I only used 1 tsp of red wine vinegar, but used 1/4 cup red wine,  added extra nutritional yeast, and a tbsp barley miso (because I ran out of braggs at the second tbsp *weeps*). Anywho, he ate this with toasted squash seeds and broccoli on wild/brown rice mix. Thank you so much for this gravy recipe, he and I have never liked gravy before we tasted it. Tomorrow I plan to have it on wild rice and lentil stuffed acorn squash. This recipe puts me one step further to converting him to the lovely life of vegan-ness!
