Rich Brown Gravy

March 16, 2008 at 3:57 pm (7 ingredients or less, black pepper, butter, chicken broth, light soy sauce, onion, onion powder, Side dish, stovetop, whole-wheat pastry flour)

Rich Brown Gravy

If you prefer a smooth gravy, omit the chopped onion and add a pinch of onion powder.

2 t margarine
4 T finely chopped onion
4 rounded tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour
4 C water or broth
4 T sodium-reduced tamari or soy sauce
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

_______________________________

Melt margarine over medium heat in a heavy nonstick medium skillet. Add onion; saute, 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 water or broth 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.
