This delicious vegetarian gravy made with onions, garlic, vegetable stock, and nutritional yeast has a rich, savory flavor that's perfect for mashed potatoes or holiday dinners.

Cook's notes:

• You can use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
• Whisk in 2 tablespoons half-and-half or unsweetened plant milk just before serving for a creamier texture.

Method:

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in flour, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce to form a smooth paste.
4. Gradually whisk in broth. Season with sage, salt, and pepper.
5. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring constantly, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until thickened. Serve hot.
