• 3 tablespoons margarine
• 2 tablespoons of finely chopped onions
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

• salt and pepper

1. Put margarine in a pot and saute the onions and garlic over med-high heat.
2. Reduce heat back to medium after onions and garlic have become golden brown.
3. Make a roux by gradually adding the flour, while continuously stirring to avoid lumps.
4. Still stirring, add soy sauce and water to the mixture.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Once the gravy has reached desired thickness, turn off the stove and you are done!

fresh sage

This recipe turned out really well. I used veggie broth instead of water, and reduced the soy sauce to 1 T. because my broth was salted. The gravy was still a little on the salty side, but tasty. I also added some dried sage, thyme and parsley.

The only alteration I made was adding a bit of garlic powder(along with the cloves) and a bit more water than soy sauce.

I add some rosemary and thyme to give it a bit more flavour, which I find complements this recipe very well. I've used this over potatoes, veggie burgers, veggie roasts, etc.
