Make-Ahead Parve Gravy

Make-Ahead Parve Gravy means one less thing to coordinate on the biggest cooking days of the year.  Because it is vegan it is the perfect side for your roasted meat, and your vegetarian guests can pour it over anything they like.  It is not meant for drinking straight, although it tastes so good you may want to.  If you have no vegetarians at the table, feel free to add some drippings from your turkey or roast for extra flavor.  I make this every year for my vegetarian daughter.  It waits happily in the refrigerator until just before meal time, when it is quickly rewarmed on the stovetop.

 

How far ahead can I make gravy?

Gravy can be made up to five days ahead and kept in the refrigerator until its big moment.

Where do I find dried mushrooms?

Dried mushrooms are usually found with the produce in your supermarket.  If you can’t find them, they are easy to make at home:  Wipe fresh mushrooms and slice thinly. Place on a baking sheet in an oven set to low (175 degrees).  Use the convection setting if you have one.  It will probably take 2-4 hours to dry them completely.  (You want them to snap when you break one).  For this recipe, start with approximately 1 cup of fresh mushrooms.  Any type of mushrooms will work, but porcini, cremini or shiitake will give you more depth of flavor,

How do I avoid lumpy gravy?

The easiest way to avoid lumps is to use a whisk instead of a wooden spoon.  Dust the flour gently over the gravy mix (think of a snowfall), stirring constantly.  If all else fails, strain the gravy before serving.
