Equipment
- blender
- med/large saucepan
- stovetop
Ingredients
- ¾ cup onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 Tablespoons oil light tasting, such as avocado oil
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon liquid aminos see notes for substitution
- 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base see notes
- 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Chop onion and garlic.
- Heat oil in a med/large saucepan. Add chopped onion and garlic and saute for about 5 minutes or until softened.
- Add to a blender the sauteed onion and garlic, along with the rest of the ingredients: vegetable broth, cornstarch, liquid aminos, Better Than Bouillon, poultry seasoning, and thyme. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended ingredients back into the saucepan and heat on med/high until bubbly, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for another minute to allow the gravy to thicken.
- Stir in the ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Surprisingly this small amount helps to round out the flavor.
- Taste and add salt and pepper to taste. It's really pretty flavorful already and I never add any.
Notes
- You really need a flavorless oil for this recipe. There are already so many flavor complexities. I suggest avocado oil
- You can make this recipe oil-free if desired. Just saute onions and garlic in a veggie broth lined pan. Watch the pan carefully so that it doesn't burn.
- You can sub in soy sauce if you do not have liquid aminos. It will still have a salty savory flavor but Bragg's Liquid Aminos lend a real umami taste.
- Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base is hard to find. I buy mine on Amazon. If you can't find it then sub in some vegetable flavored bouillon.
- The serving size is a generous 1/3 cup.
