Meatless Gravy

Yield: 8 cups

Ingredients

• 1/2 quart vegetable stock
• 1/16 cup white or light miso
• 1/16 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning or other mixed herbs
• 1/8 teaspoon dried sage
• 1/3 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/8 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/8 teaspoon black or white pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot

Instructions

1. Combine all ingredients except cornstarch or arrowroot in a 4 quart pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
2. At serving time, dissolve thickener in 1/2 cup cold water. Bring the gravy to a low boil. Slowly pour in the thickener and stir while the gravy turns from milky to smooth and thick. Add enough thickener to reach the consistency you desire.

Notes

Poultry seasoning does not contain animal products. If you don't have poultry seasoning, use 2 to 3 teaspoons of a mixture of rosemary, sage, thyme, marjoram and basil.
