Vegan Gravy
From: riacmt@ubvmsa.cc.buffalo.edu (Carol Miller-Tutzauer) ----------- 6 T vegetable oil 4 T flour 1 t seasoning mix (cajun seasoning is good, Mrs. Dash, make up your own) 1 T chopped onion (optional; using it makes the gravy lumpy) 1/2 c vegetable broth In a saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add flour and reduce heat to medium. Whisk or stir flour constantly until flour turns the color of light peanut butter. BE CAREFUL YOU DO NOT BURN ANY PART OF IT! (If you do, just start over. Feel free to lower heat and work more slowly, or remove pan from heat when you feel it is getting ahead of you.) Now add seasoning mix and onion (if using). Saute for a few seconds, or if using onion saute until onion begins to soften. Note: The liquid in the onion will cause the mixture to get "gummy" but that's OK. Now add vegetable broth and whisk/stir until mixture is smooth and liquid is fully incorporated. Add a bit more broth or water if gravy is too thick. Simmer for a minute or so. Serve. This is probably enough for about 2 people (or 1 person if you are from the south and eating the gravy on your rice). Carol
