Step 12
Vertical Diner Gluten-Free Gravy
In a medium sauce pan:
Saute onion, carrot, celery with oil, salt and chili powder. When the onions are half way cooked through add garlic, flour, nutritional yeast. Stir well as the ingredients may stick to the bottom of pan. When the ingredients are well mixed and lightly browned add the white wine to deglaze the pan. After the pan has been deglazed, add the spices, soup stock, tamari and tahini. Slowly bring the gravy up to a simmer while whisking.
Serve this gravy with stuffing, potatoes and many dishes.
