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.

• Add the sugar and caramelize the onions for a few 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, stirring frequently, until the gravy has thickened.

• Season it with vegan Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce) and pepper.

• Blend it until smooth in your food processor, blender, or immersion blender.

• Serve it warm in a gravy boat.

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.
