BRYANNA’S RICH BROWN (FAT-FREE!) YEAST GRAVY

Makes about 2 and 1/2 c.

2 and 1/2 c. water (OR use 2 cups water and 1/2 cup
dry sherry, port or Marsala, or mushroom soaking
water)
1/3 c. unbleached white flour
1/3 c. nutritional yeast flakes
2 T. soy sauce
1/2 tsp. salt

Add sauteed mushrooms to the gravy, if you like.

OPTIONAL: a few shakes of gravy browner, such as
Kitchen Bouquet

In a heavy saucepan over high heat, whisk the yeast
and flour together until it smells toasty. Off the
heat, whisk in the water, soy sauce, salt and
Kitchen Bouquet, if using. Stir constantly over
high heat until it thickens and comes to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-5 minutes. This
can be made ahead and reheated.

MICROWAVE OPTION FOR GRAVY:

In a 1 and 1/2 qt. microwave-proof bowl, mix the
flour and yeast. Toast this in the microwave on HI
for 3 minutes, uncovered. Whisk in remaining
ingredients. Cover and cook on HIGH for 3 minutes.
Whisk. Cover and cook again for 3 minutes on HIGH.
Whisk. Or, make 1/2 the recipe in a 4 c. microwave-
safe glass measuring container, and cook as above,
but in 2 minute increments.
