This is literally the best gravy I’ve ever tasted. No joke! It’s thick, creamy, savory, and everything you could ever want in a gravy. And the best part? It’s gluten-free AND vegan. I honestly freaked out when I tried it. I want to jar it up and give some to everyone I know!
I’ve never been much of a gravy-maker. It always seemed too complicated and hit-or-miss. With this gravy, though, you can rest assured that you’ll have a perfect, delicious gravy that will satisfy (most) everyone’s dietary needs! :)
Ingredients (makes 3-4 cups of gravy, depending on how much water you add later)
- 2 cups chopped mushrooms (any kind)
- 2 cups chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves chopped garlic
- 1/2 cup brown rice flour
- 1/2 cup wheat-free tamari
- 6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups water
- 2 tsp fresh thyme
- 2 tsp fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp fresh black pepper
Add mushrooms, onion, garlic and 3 tbsp olive oil to a pan. Cook until onions are translucent and mushrooms are soft.
In a separate pan, add brown rice flour, the other 3 tbsp of oil, water, tamari, herbs and black pepper. Bring to a boil and mix with a whisk until gravy is thick (about 10 mins).
Add the gravy mix to the onion/mushroom/garlic mix.
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth! If your gravy is too thick, add more water a little bit at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Pour over all of your favorite Thanksgiving foods!!!

I have to concur … this is the best gravy I’ve ever had, and rice and gravy has been my favorite food my entire life!
It tastes amazing poured over oven-roasted french fries, or, if you don’t have time for that, a baked potato. I found that the tamari makes it salty, so I did not add salt to the french fries when I baked them.

I can’t have rice. Is there a way to use quinoa and/or arrowroot flour, instead?

Sure, give it a try! Let me know how it goes!

I have just finished making this recipe and I put it over cauliflower mashed. It was the most amazing amout of flavor and satisfaction that I have gotten from a meal! OMG!! Try it!! You won’t be let down.
I’d only say if you are watching your sodium content half the tamari with water. That’s what I did and it still came out terrific.
WOW!!

I made this using Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose GF Flour and it turned out great. I didn’t blend it, because I like the big mushroom pieces.

Hey I plan on making this this week :)!!!! Is chicken broth instead of water a smart choice? I was thinking it would add a bit more savory notes to this already lovely dish but I would like your opinion prior to venturing out…

i’ve never tried it with chicken broth, but give it a whirl!
