Vegetarian Gravy Low Sodium Sugar Free Recipes

VEGETARIAN GRAVY (LOW-SODIUM & SUGAR-FREE)

Steps:

• Measure the vegetable oil into a small saucepan.
• Cook the garlic and onion in it for about two minutes on medium or medium-low heat, until the onion is a bit tender and translucent.
• Add the flour, yeast, and tamari to make a paste.
• Add the water gradually, stirring constantly.
• Bring the gravy to a boil on medium to medium-high heat, stirring constantly-- the gravy has to boil for it to thicken.
• Add pepper.
• Stir in the sliced mushrooms, if desired.
• Add salt substitute, if desired.
• If the gravy is too thin for your taste, add one or two tablespoons of flour or small amounts of cornstarch to thicken it and add home-made-looking lumps.
• Use a wire whisk to eliminate lumps.
• Pour the piping hot gravy onto toast, biscuits, vegetarian sausage, poultry stuffing, potatoes, or burgers.

EASY VEGETARIAN ONION GRAVY

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
• Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Sweat the onions, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8-10 minutes. If they start to turn brown, turn down the heat - you're looking for translucent and tender, not golden.
• Increase heat to medium. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring frequently, for three minutes.
• Gradually stir in the vegetable broth and continue stirring, over medium heat, until thickened to a gravy consistency, about 3 - 4 minutes.
• Stir in Tamari or soy sauce if using. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
