Vegetarian Gravy
Hi, and again welcome to our Vegetarian Kitchen. Recent cold weather means hot, comfort food so this week we are doing a vegetarian gravy which is a great accompaniment to any classic dish such as veggie pies and nut roasts.
Vegetarian Gravy (serves 4)
INGREDIENTS-
1 medium white onion
2 oxo vegetarian stock cubes
Boiling water (500ml)
2 tablespoons of paprika
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoons of hoisin sauce
Salt and pepper to season
Milk (200ml)
1 tablespoon plain flour
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
METHOD-
1) Chop the white onion.
2) Heat up the vegetable oil and add in the chopped onion once the oil is hot. Fry until golden.
3) Add two stock cubes to 500ml of boiling water . Add the stock to the cooked onions.
4) Now (in a separate mug) add the flour to the milk and mix to create a thickening.
5) Add the thickening to the onions and stock and mix together.
6) Now add the flavourings- soy sauce, hoisin, paprika and salt and pepper and mix in.
7) Simmer gently for 15 minutes.
