Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 3 tablespoons Chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 small Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon Miso paste

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion to the saucepan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chickpea flour to the pan and stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. The mixture should be lightly golden and free of lumps.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the vegetable broth, ensuring there are no clumps. This step is crucial for a smooth gravy texture.

Step 6

Once the mixture is smooth, add the nutritional yeast, tamari (or soy sauce), black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken, which should take about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the miso paste until it is fully dissolved in the gravy.

Step 9

Taste the gravy and adjust any seasonings according to your preference, adding more tamari for saltiness or more black pepper for spice.

Step 10

Serve warm over your favorite vegan dishes and enjoy the rich, savory flavors of this nutritious gravy.
