(9 Item Recipe)

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups organic vegetable broth, no sodium (we make our own which cuts costs)
1 cup organic shiitake mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and chopped
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons organic whole wheat flour (I use bobs red mill)
4 cloves organic garlic, finely chopped
1 cup organic onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh organic thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons organic lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

On medium heat in skillet, bring 1/2 cup broth to a simmer. Add onion and garlic cooking for about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms, and thyme cooking for another  2 minutes until mushrooms are tender. Add remaining 3 cups broth and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.

In a bowl, whisk together yeast and flour forming a thick paste. Add mixture to skillet slowly stirring constantly until paste is fully dissolved. Bring to a slow boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add pepper. If you want gravy thicker add additional tablespoon of flour.

Note:

This gravy is healthy and delicious and goes great over potatoes, steamed veggies, tofu, tempeh and other main entrees.  We love it over whole grains, quinoa and more.
