Ingredients

  • cup olive or vegetable oil
  • ½ cup very finely diced onion or 1 tbsp onion powder
  • ½ cup nutritional yeast
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a sauce pot.
  • Add the onions once the oil is hot and let cook til translucent. Do not let them brown, keep them moving in the pot.
  • Mix together the nutritional yeast, flour, and spices.
  • Slowly whisk the flour mixture into the oil. It might get lumpy but try to keep whisking evenly.
  • Add the vegetable stock and soy sauce. Keep whisking to keep breaking up any inevitable lumps.
  • Once the lumps are smoothed out, turn the heat to medium low and let the gravy thicken a bit. Stir occasionally for about three minutes.
  • Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately over rice, potatoes, Celebration Roast, or set aside to refrigerate. It reheats well in the microwave, which is great because this recipe makes plenty.
