Variation on VegWeb Vegetarian Chicken Gravy

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour along with herbs and seasonings, stirring with a whisk. Gradually add broth, stirring constantly until blended. Stir in dried onion, wine, and Kitchen Bouquet thoroughly. Turn down heat to low to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Test taste and adjust dried onions, herbs, and seasonings as you wish.

NOTES:
The instructions for the herbs and seasonings is a starting place/guideline. (I actually don’t measure much when I use herbs and seasonings, and go by the adage that more is better when it comes to flavoring vegetarian dishes. I almost never use salt in my household.) So let your taste preferences and creativity take it from here.

The Kitchen Bouquet adds great depth and “meaty” flavor to the gravy. I haven’t experimented with other options.

The paprika is key to making this vegetarian sauce more gravy like.

The recipe as is doubles quite nicely.
