Torys Vegetarian gravy
- 1 onion
- 1 swiss stock cube or herbamare
- Braggs liquid aminos
- molasses
- Tapioca flour (optional)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons tamari
Chop an onion and the garlic and fry in a pan till soft, add a cup and a half of water and a vege stock cube (I use ‘swiss’ brand or herbamare). Add a couple of teaspoons of tamari and a splash of’ Braggs’ liquid aminos. Now add a couple of tablespoons of molasses..keep stiring. Taste and add more molasses if you need to for sweetness.
If you don’t mind a chunky gravy leave as is or use a strainer to make a clear liquid. Add some tapioca flour to a little water then add to the gravy to thicken the sauce if you like.
