How to Make Golden Gravy

  1. In a heavy skillet over medium heat, whisk together 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for 5 minutes, or until fragrant.
  2. Set aside the flour mixture.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 10 minutes, or until tender and beginning to brown.
  5. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon fresh sage leaves. Cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
  6. Whisk in the reserved flour mixture until smooth. Gradually whisk in 2 cups vegetable broth, 2 tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Bring to a simmer, whisking frequently. Continue to simmer until the gravy thickens to a creamy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  8. For a smoother gravy, either strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or blend it briefly with an immersion blender.
  9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
