Vegan Country Gravy

Cooking the roux to pale gold gives this soy-milk gravy more depth than a quick thickening would. Sage and fennel turn the creamy sauce into a familiar country-style spoonful.

Notes

  • Cook the Roux: Don't rush the roux. A light golden color creates a richer, more developed flavor.
  • Whisk Constantly: Adding the soy milk slowly while whisking prevents lumps.
  • Consistency: If the gravy becomes too thick, whisk in a splash of warm soy milk until it reaches your preferred consistency.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve over Classic Buttermilk-Style Pancakes (savory variation), Creamy Vegan Mashed Potatoes, Scrambled Tofu, biscuits, or Marinated Tempeh Scallopini.
