    Who doesn’t love tho enjoy a hearty meal with a decent sauce during the colder months of the year? It doesn’t matter if it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, or an ordinary dinner with the family where you serve vegan mashed potatoes and gravy.

    Let me show you how to make the best vegan gravy sauce to serve along with those festive meals!

    Best Vegan Gravy Recipe

    Whether you are following a plant-based lifestyle or want to make a super easy brown gravy to impress your friends, I promise you that even meat-eaters are going to love this sauce.

    I love to serve it along with mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes mushrooms, or a vegan beet wellington. This sauce is also very welcome at every Thanksgiving Dinner or for a festive Christmas menu with your family. Make it one day in advance and reheat it before you serve the dinner – a decent preparation makes parties much less stressful.

    But be aware that this might be your new number one vegan gravy recipe which you are going to be addicted too during the colder months.

    It’s:

    Super easy and quick to make

    Inexpensive with ingredients you have in your cupboard

    Creamy

    How To Make Vegan Gravy

    Ingredients you need:

    You can find the exact amount in the recipe card below. I just want to quickly explain to you what each ingredient is used for in this recipe.

    • In vegan butter or oil roasted onions for the flavor and a chunky sauce (if you prefer not to blend it before serving)
    • Coconut sugar (or any other sugar) to caramelize the onions
    • Flour to thicken the sauce
    • Tomato purée and balsamic vinegar for the beautiful brown color
    • Red wine, to make this sauce like a pro → You can substitute the red wine with white wine, it’s delicious either way. I always use the wine I have at home (e.g. leftovers from vegan bolognese sauce).
    • Vegan Worcestershire Sauce and pepper to season the gravy! Can be substituted with soy sauce.
    • Optional: If you want to give your gravy a sweet touch, add one tablespoon of jam.

    How to make it:

    • Heat a saucepan with vegan butter or oil. Add the minced onion and roast for a few minutes until translucent.

    Can I prepare gravy in advance? Yes, cook it one day ahead and reheat it in a small saucepan or microwave. You might need to add a little bit of water if the sauce is too thick.

    Chunky Gravy

    Dou you like your vegan gravy chunky like in the picture below? Serve it without blending.

    • 1 tbsp flour
    • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar use 2 tbsp if you like a sour taste
    • ¼ cup (60ml) red wine or white wine
    • 1 cup (240ml) water
    • 1 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce
    • pepper

    Instructions
     

    • Heat a saucepan with vegan butter or oil. Add the minced onion and saute for ∼3 minutes until translucent. Add the sugar and caramelize the onions for a ∼2 minutes
    • Stir in the tomato purée and flour.
    • Add the balsamic vinegar, wine, and water. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes at medium heat until the gravy has thickened. Add more water if the sauce gets too thick
    • Season it with vegan Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce) and pepper.

    Notes

    • You can store the sauce up to a few days in your fridge. If you preheat it again, add some water as the sauce starts to thicken in the fridge.
    • Add one tablespoon of jam if you want to give your gravy a sweet touch.
    • I like to add two tablespoons of vinegar, but it gives the sauce a hint sour taste which not everybody likes!
