Step 1

Ingredients 5 tablespoons butter (can sub Earth Balance [see Vegan Option]) 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth 1 tablespoon Tamari or soy sauce (optional) Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste Instructions In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and a pinch of salt. Sweat the onions, stirring occasionally, until tender, 8-10 minutes. If they start to turn brown, turn down the heat - you're looking for translucent and tender, not golden. Increase heat to medium. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring frequently, for three minutes. Gradually stir in the vegetable broth and continue stirring, over medium heat, until thickened to a gravy consistency, about 3 - 4 minutes. Stir in Tamari or soy sauce if using. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
