Nut-free & Gluten free Vegan Gravy - Millet and Rice

Nut-free Vegan Millet Gravy and Rice Flour Gravy

Here are a couple of recipes for easy and delicious gluten free vegan gravies which are great on burgers, with meatloaf, on mashed potatoes and just about anything else. Toasting the flour lightly before adding the oil or vegan spread increases the flavor by lending it a nuttiness. Millet flour tends to take on more oil than rice flour. As a personal favorite, I like to use a mushroom-based stock but that's just a matter of taste. So here are 2 of my mainstay gravy recipes.

Rice flour gravy

Nut free & Gluten free Vegan Gravy with Rice Flour

2 tablespoon brown or white rice flour
1 tablespoon olive oil or vegan spread
1 cup vegetable stock
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Method: Lightly toast rice flour over medium heat, stirring all the time so that the flour does not burn. Then add the olive oil or vegan spread and keep stirring. I like using a balloon whisk from this point onwards, to work out any lumps that may form. Gradually add the vegetable stock, stirring briskly. Let the gravy simmer till it thickens. Add chopped parsley and remove from heat.
