Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp finely- minced onion
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1½ cup vegetable stock (or beef or mushroom stock)
  • 1 tsp yeast extract

Directions

1

Sauté the onion in the oil over medium heat with salt and pepper, until the onion begins to turn golden brown. Add the flour and stir. A roux should form; cook it for several minutes until it starts to darken.

2

Add the stock and stir until smooth. Add the yeast extract—as the gravy warms it will become incorporated. Taste and season if necessary. When the gravy simmers, it is done.

3

Strain into a gravy boat or other serving container and allow to cool a few minutes before serving.
