Instructions
Preheat a saucepan, preferably a narrow pot with tall sides. Add the onion, garlic and mushrooms and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until all have softened and browned a bit.
Meanwhile, combine the flour/cornstarch and water. Once the vegetables have reduced and browned, stir in the flour/water mixture, nutritional yeast, and miso paste, if using.
Then stir in the herbs, broth, plant milk, and tamari/liquid aminos.
Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then reduce to a simmer. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture into a smooth gravy. Continue to stir occasionally until thickened. Add salt & pepper to taste.
Serve with mashed potatoes, stuffing, biscuits, or anything else you'd like!
