Low-fat gravy?? How could that be? How about no-fat gravy? This gravy is so smooth and savory, but also light, therefore you can really feel good about pouring it over your favorite loaf or patty, mashers, biscuits or rice.
I am a firm believer in simplicity. I don’t get too fussy with small details and have little patience for long-winded recipes. So, I love The Happy Herbivore cookbook by Lindsay Nixon. The recipes are quick and easy, vegan and low-fat.
Everyday Gravy
from “The Happy Herbivore” by Lindsay Nixon
1 cup water
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, divided
1/4 teaspoon of each: garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger
8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced or quartered
1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup soy milk
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Whisk together the first five ingredients in a non-stick skillet and bring to a boil. Add the garlic, mushrooms and Italian seasoning and saute until mushrooms are tender, about 3 minutes.
Sounds delicious, simple and healthy. I’m always looking for something to put on my mashed potatoes, so I’ll give this a try soon. Thanks. And I really must get myself a copy of The Happy Herbivore.
Hey, thanks for the comment! Happy Herbivore is awesome! I also love cheesy sauce, made with cashews and tofu, on my mashers. So creamy and delicious. Comfort food at its best! Blessings–Melanie
