All-Purpose Vegetarian Brown Gravy

Step 1

In a small pot, whisk together the vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, tamari, olive oil, thyme, and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, stir together the corn starch and water to make a corn starch slurry. Stir this into the pot with the other gravy ingredients.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a rapid simmer on the stove over medium-high heat. Once simmering, reduce to a low simmer (just a few bubbles popping at a time).

Step 4

Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon without sliding off. This should take no more than 5-10 minutes.

Step 5

The gravy will thicken as it cools. If it becomes too thick, just whisk in 1 tablespoon at a time vegetable broth or water. Taste for salt and enjoy!
