5 Minute Simple Brown Gravy
This simple brown gravy is oil-free and gluten-free and comes together so fast and tastes so good you'll never use a packet again.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Bragg Liquid Aminos, or tamari, or soy sauce
- 1 ½ cups of water
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons tahini
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk cornstarch and Bragg Liquid Aminos together until smooth. Gradually whisk in the water, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
- Heat over medium-high heat whisking constantly until the mixture boils and begins to thicken.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the tahini. Serve immediately or keep warm until serving.
- If you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator and heat up in the microwave. It’s delicious on potatoes!
Notes
If you want an extra flavor boost, use vegan chicken-flavored broth instead of the water. If you need to lower the sodium, choose a low-sodium version of the liquid aminos, tamari, or soy sauce.
