How to Make Navy Bean Gravy
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in minced garlic, thyme, and black pepper. Cook for 3 minutes more, until fragrant.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and vegetable broth until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the cooked navy beans, soy sauce, and the flour-broth mixture to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to the blender. Blend again until well combined and no large onion chunks remain.
- Pour the blended mixture back into the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. If the gravy is too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt to taste.
