Bryanna's Rich (Fat-Free) Brown Gravy (Vegan)

Chef Bryanna Clark Grogan makes holidays a breeze with great recipes from "The (Almost) No-Fat Holiday Cookbook", one in a series of her eight popular vegan cookbooks.

Yield: 21/2 cups

Ingredients:

21/2 cups water (or use 2 cups water and 1/2 cup dry sherry, port, Madeira, or Marsala)
1/3 cup unbleached white flour
1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt

OPTIONAL: a few shakes of gravy browner, such as Kitchen Bouquet. Add sauteed mushrooms to the gravy, if you like.

Directions:

In a heavy saucepan over high heat, whisk the yeast and flour together until it smells toasty. Off the heat, whisk in the water, soy sauce, salt and Kitchen Bouquet, if using. Stir constantly over high heat until it thickens and comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-5 minutes. This can be made ahead and reheated.

	I recently made this gravy with a few simple modifications and it was a big hit, even with the carnivores. I used 2 cups water and about 1/3 cup Marsala wine, then I added around 1 1/2 tbsp powdered, gluten-free vegetable stock mix. This gave it a little more robust flavor and balanced the heady yeast tones.

	I thought this gravy was a little bland--maybe add a bit more soy sauce and some black pepper. Otherwise, it was a nice consistency.
