Ingredients
- 4 cups of water, split into two portions
- A generous cup of creamy cashews
- 2 ½ tablespoons of cornstarch for thickening
- 2 tablespoons of rich soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of brewers' yeast for a nutty kick
- 2 teaspoons of aromatic onion powder
- A hint of zesty lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of fragrant dried basil
- ½ teaspoon of pungent garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon of sea salt for seasoning
- A dash of dried rosemary for an herby touch
Step 1
Begin by bringing 2 1/2 cups of water to a bubbling boil in a pot, letting the anticipation of a flavorful creation simmer. In a blender, unite an imaginative blend of 1 1/4 cups water, creamy cashews, velvety cornstarch, savory soy sauce, brewers' yeast for depth, aromatic onion powder, zesty lemon juice, earthy basil, pungent garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and a hint of rosemary. Blend this symphony of ingredients until a harmonious smoothness is achieved.
Step 2
With a graceful pour, introduce this luscious concoction into the dancing waters in the pot, where flavors mingle and meld. As the pot bubbles with excitement, take the remaining 1/4 cup of water to cleanse the blender of its remnants, adding this pure essence to the pot for an extra boost. Allow the mixture to gently bubble and thicken, coaxing out its richness and depth, a process that may take 5 to 7 minutes, ensuring a delightful outcome.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your savory vegan gravy in an airtight container to lock in all those delicious flavors and prevent any funky odors or tastes from seeping in.
- 2. If you've made a big batch of gravy and won't be using it all at once, portion it out into smaller containers or ice cube trays for easy thawing and reheating later on.
