A thick and wonderful vegetable gravy. This onion and zucchini gravy recipe is the perfect companion to seitan. I thought I made a lot, but demand was much higher than anticipated!
This vegetarian gravy recipe is a delightful addition to many dishes, especially seitan and tofu. The thick gravy coats the main, lending it a rich, comforting taste.
The combination of soy sauce, nutmeg and pumpkin seed oil gives this recipe its deep flavour. Less and it tastes like a strong soup base. More and they overpower the flavour.
If it ends up too runny for your taste, add more locust bean gum and blend again while heating.
