Author Notes: Here's a good all-purpose vegetarian gravy recipe. Serve it over mashed potatoes or Thanksgiving dressing, soy main courses, or whatever else your imagination conjures up.
Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/4 cup minced onion
3 cloves minced garlic
4 tablespoons flour or whole wheat flour
4 cups vegetable stock
5 tablespoons low sodium or light soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced parsley
pepper to taste
Instructions:

Makes About 4 1/2 Cups

Melt butter in a heavy skillet and saute onion and garlic for about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and wipe skillet clean. Add flour to skillet and cook, stirring constantly until flour gets brown and toasted -- stir constantly, you don't want it to burn! Whisk in water or stock and soy sauce and cook, Whisking constantly until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in onion/garlic mixture and parsley. Cook for one minute more. If gravy becomes too thick, thin with additional water or stock.

Great for Thanksgiving
Written by: Diane Morin

My daughter has been a vegetarian for the last 15 years and I've looked in vain for a good gravy for Thanksgiving dinner. She eats everything but the turkey and gravy usually. I made this last year but substituted one tablespoon of the light soy sauce with Kitchen Bouquet which has no animal products. It added the depth of flavor and richness the gravy needed. Needless to say, it was a great hit and I've forwarded this recipe to some of her veggie friends.
