Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons grape juice (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Melt the plant-based butter in a saucepan over medium heat until fragrant and fully melted, creating a rich and smooth foundation for the gravy.
  2. Create the Roux: Gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes while stirring continuously to form a golden paste that thickens the gravy.
  3. Add Liquids and Flavorings: Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Then add grape juice, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to develop complex savory and sweet flavors.
  4. Incorporate Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent into the mixture and whisk vigorously to ensure even thickening and a silky consistency.
  5. Simmer and Adjust: Reduce heat to low and let the gravy simmer gently for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then remove from heat once the desired thickness is achieved.

Notes

  • Whisk slowly when adding liquids to prevent lumps.
  • Maintain medium-low heat to avoid burning and meld flavors.
  • Use fresh vegetable broth for the best flavor.
  • Add salt and spices gradually to control seasoning levels.
  • Add the natural gelling agent towards the end for optimal thickness and texture.
