This vegan gravy rocks. I could be more modest I suppose, but it really is yummy. I often make it in the fall, but it is cool and rainy her in Maine right now and it got me thinking of yummy warming foods. I make the gravy with mashed potatoes most often and serve it on Chickpea Cutlets from the Veganomicon, my favorite vegan cookbook. I also sometimes add lentils and have it on biscuits for breakfast. Last thanksgiving I layered the gravy with seitan, mashed potatoes, scalloped corn and biscuits for a one dish thanksgiving. If you’re luck I’ll post that wonder sometime. For now you may have gravy.
