Vegetable gravy

[mollykins]

Is vegetarian gravy made in the same way as proper normal gravy, but without using meat juices?

What does it taste like? a thin vegetable soup?

And is it green?

[anneasquith]

its gravy without any meat, like veg stock cube.

[mollykins]

Can you still make like proper gravy though, by making a roue (however it's spelt) with flour and stock, then adding more and more stock or vegetable water, so it has the consistency of gravy?

[Dris]

I use vegetable stock often and sometimes thicken it with some milk to pour over veg.Its tasty-but then i would think that as I rarely eat meat.Its way better tasting than a beef gravy in my opinion.

[mollykins]

I don't like meaty gravy at all, so it'll probably taste nice to me aswell.

[mollykins]

What colour is it then?

[mollykins]

That's how dad make's his 'gravy' which tastes horrible and meaty.

Make a roux with flour, gravy granules and a tiny bit of the water the vegies were boiled in, add a bit of gravy browning and mix well, then keep slowly adding the veggie water

I thicken gravy with flour and stew/casserols with Smash. Browning for color if needed.

[mollykins]

Oh yeah and he adds the meat juices aswell.

Smash!!!!!!

Have you tried Bisto?
Some of them dont have the meety flavour go to your local super market and check it out. Theres all different types and I am near sure bisto does a vegetarian gravy in it!

I might try making a vegetable gravy, i'm normally stuck for sauces to make and end up having ketchup on most things . . . .
