Recipe request: gravy; was: Thanksgiving Leftovers?

[Guest guest]

I'm just curious as to what everyone does for gravy. I have only been

vegetarian since September and all I can find is mushroom gravy and I hate

mushrooms. Does anyone know of another yummy gravy for mashed taties?

Thanks.

Re: QOTW: Favorite Thanksgiving Leftovers?

My husband makes Tofurky casserole the day after the Thanksgiving with all

the leftovers. He layers in a casserole dish with stuffing, then sliced

Tofurky, roasted vegetables and tops it with mashed potatoes. Bakes it in an

oven until warm & the potatoes turn a little crispy. I pour leftover gravy

all over my helping. With a little cranberries on the side. Yummy!

Hi Sarah! I make a delicious gravy out of soybean juice - the juice leftover in

the crockpot when I cook soybeans. I cook up a pot of soybeans every couple of

weeks, for a soybean spread I make for a dip and for sandwiches, and I have a

lot of juice leftover in the crockpot. So one day, I decided to experiment with

it. I made a roux of butter and flour, and then used the soybean juice to whisk

in, and it thickened beautifully and was the most delicious gravy! So now I

store my soybean juice in plastic containers - not filled to the top, or they

would overflow as they froze, in the freezer section of my refrigerator. I can

pull one out the night before, and put it in the refrigerator and let it thaw

all night and the next day, and I'll be able to make gravy that night. If you

don't have enough juice, use some warm water to help make up the gravy. Or milk.

You can make this vegan by using Earth's Balance margarine blend, which is made

totally non-dairy, and adding no milk. In fact, just now, thinking about it, I'm

wondering about storing any canned beans juices that I normally drain down the

sink - saving them for gravy - I could probably just save them all to the same

container, and they would make a tasty gravy, but the soybean one is especially

good. But now I'm going to save the juice from the other beans in cans, and see

how they turn out. My daughter was about 8 years old when I first tried the

soybean gravy and she loved it and still does, and so did my husband, but he

says he can't think of it as soybean gravy, so he just calls it brown gravy. (he

doesn't like soybeans). It is also delicious on top of baked potatoes.
