How to Make Chestnut And Bay Leaf Gravy
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 chopped carrot, 1 chopped celery stalk, 1 chopped leek, and ½ a chopped onion. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in 2 bay leaves, 1 cup dry white wine (or vegetable broth), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 2 cups of vegetable stock.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve into a jug, discarding the vegetables.
- Return the strained gravy to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 teaspoon yeast extract.
- Add 1 cup cooked chestnuts (canned or pre-cooked) and the remaining ½ chopped onion. Simmer gently for another 10 minutes, allowing the chestnuts to heat through and the flavors to deepen.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm over your favorite dish.
