  • Does anyone have a good recipe for vegetarian gravy? (doesn't need to be vegan)

    Usually I use bisto with some additions, but won't be able to. How do you make it from scratch?

    Cheers.

  • My tried and tested onion gravy:

    • Slice a medium white onion in to 3-4mm half-moons.
    • Slowly saute the onions and some fresh thyme/rosemary springs in a bit of butter and olive oil for 15-20 mins until starting to colour.
    • Add a glass of red wine and cook off the alcohol.
    • Add 750ml-litre of veggie stock (Marigold Bouillon is nice).
    • Stir in a teaspoon of dijon mustard and a teaspoon of marmite (you won;pt taste it but it adds body and umami).
    • Couple of shakes of veggie Worcestershire sauce and some malt vinegar.
    • Cook the gravy for 30 mins minimum and as long as you like to develop the flavour, can add more stock if it boils down too far.

    -Thicken with a slurry of cornflour and water to your desired consistency. Don't add cornflour directly to the pot as it will form clumps.
    -Season to taste with black pepper and serve.

    This can be frozen ahead too.
