Killer Brown Gravy
6 tablespoons browned flour
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
2-4 cups plain soy milk
1-2 tablespoons Bragg’s aminos
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 large onion, finely diced
pinch of black pepper
Brown flour in a small saucepan. Add the oil and mix completely. Blend with the soymilk, a little bit at a time until smooth; make sure there are no lumps.
Turn the heat to high, add the onion, garlic powder, salt, and Bragg’s. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly so that the mixture does not separate. After it boils, turn heat to medium and cook 1 - 2 minutes.
Then serve!! Enjoy it, and serve it wherever you wish. Mashed potatoes, noodles, rice, Tofurky, breakfast tempeh 'sausage', etc.
I didn't try this recipe for a long time because of the browned flour; never underestimate the power of browned flour! This is the closest thing to meat gravy I have ever made. You can add mushrooms, seitan, veggie 'steak' strips, etc. enjoy!
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I think you probably just toast the flour in a dry pan like you do when you toast sesame seeds. :)
We weren't sure how to brown flour, so we didn't. And I think that's why the gravy didn't come out very good. It was pretty bland, so we added some sage and rosemary and more salt. That made it okay tasting, especially when we just poured it on stuffing. Next time we'll investigate what browning flour involves!
