Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 teaspoons margarine

4 tablespoons finely chopped onion

4 tablespoons whole-wheat pastry flour -- rounded tablespoons

4 cups seitan cooking liquid or water

4 tablespoons sodium-reduced tamari or soy sauce

(omit if using seitan cooking liquid)

Freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

 

Makes 4 1/2 cups. Vegan

 

(Directions refer to making the Thanksgiving No-Turkey 'Turkey' first.)

 

If you use prepared seitan, substitute water flavored with tamari or soy

sauce for the cooking liquid. If you prefer a smooth gravy, omit the

chopped onion and add a pinch of onion powder.

 

Melt margarine over medium heat in a heavy nonstick medium skillet. Add

onion; sauté stirring, until onion becomes very soft, about 2

minutes. Transfer onion to a small bowl; wipe skillet clean with a paper

towel or napkin. Add flour to skillet; cook, stirring constantly, over

medium heat until flour browns and gives off a toasted fragrance, about 5

minutes.

 

Remove flour from heat; add seitan liquid, or water flavored with tamari or

soy sauce. Return to heat; cook, whisking constantly, until gravy comes to

a boil and thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in reserved onion and pepper to

taste. Cook 1 minute to blend flavors. If necessary, thin with a little

more liquid if the gravy looks too thick; simmer 1 minute. Makes 4 1/2 cups.
