This is the only gravy recipe you’ll ever need. It is the absolute best.
At Thanksgiving, I often hear people saying they like it more than the turkey gravy, and my vegan heart swells with pride.
Yes, the arrowroot powder in the gravy is BLE compliant.
I like to make a cauliflower and potato mash, because let’s be honest, 4 oz of mashed potatoes never feels like enough. I love the lightness of cauliflower mash (and the fact that it is counted as veggies), but it is kind of lacking in flavor. This is the best of both worlds. I steam 4 oz each of cauliflower and potatoes in the same steamer basket until soft, and then I purée them with a splash of plant milk, garlic, and seasonings. Then I pour gravy allllll over it. YUM.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups crimini mushrooms, diced 6 oz
- 1 cup onion, diced 6 oz

- 1 ½ Tbsp arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions, mushrooms, and garlic, cook for about 10 min, or until well browned.
- Stir in the herbs and a large pinch of salt and pepper.
- If using wine, add it, stir for a minute, and then add the broth.
