Kay Aerts-Miller

Full Time Rver on a plant based journey. Serving, cooking, going where the Lord leads.

½ of a large white/yellow onion finely chopped (you will need about a cup)

3 extra large cloves of garlic minced (you will need 1 packed tablespoon of minced garlic)

2 cups 480g LOW sodium veggie broth, separated (I use Pacific brand)

1 teaspoon fine sea salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper this gives a bit of kick which I think is perfect, but if you are sensitive, use a little less

3 tablespoons brown rice flour OR regular all-purpose flour

2 long sprigs of fresh thyme use 4 if they are short sprigs

1 to 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast per preference

¼ cup 1 tablespoon Cabernet Sauvignon or use another similar full-bodied red wine

Note

Since this is a red wine gravy this of course will have a red wine flavor to it. Keep in mind that different red wines will yield different flavors and colors...some more brown, some more purple hue, but the taste should still be amazing! I recommend CalNaturale for flavor. If you cannot find it, make sure to pick a good quality one with good flavor, as this is what your gravy will taste like! It is added early in the cooking, so the alcohol burns off and the flavor is much more mild towards the end. I found it to be absolute perfection. However, if you hate red wine, you can try subbing half of the wine amount with apple juice or more broth, just keep in mind, the flavor will be more of a basic gravy. If you do that, I would increase the nutritional yeast by 1 tablespoon for flavor) Since this is a red wine gravy this of course will have a red wine flavor to it.
