I made but used miso and soy sauce. Also added a little vegan Worcestershire sauce. It was sweet so I didn’t add the maple syrup. It worked really well with the tempeh loaf though. Family also liked it with their non vegan main.

I love Worcestershire sauce (even if I can't pronounce it properly!) Great swap and glad it was success! 💛💛

Amazing gravy! I had it with Gigis polpettone on Christmas Day and it was a hit. Will add this to my Sunday roasts from now on!

As good as, if not better than any meat gravy I ever made and fabulously dark! Looking forward to the Polpettone tomorrow (Xmas Day)

Oh! I meant to add… I swapped out the maple syrup for cranberry sauce (actually it was the Lingonberry stuff from IKEA). Really brightened it up and I think would be a little less sweet than the Maple…

And another note: the solids that I removed from the gravy were still so full of flavour that I removed the herbs and stuck them in a blender and got this….. flavour bomb for the next bolognese sauce or whatever…

Interesting - I might have to try cranberry sauce next time. Love to hear everyone's little variations! And great idea for the flavour bomb! Zero waste cooking at its finest! xxx

Hi, this might seem a daft question but what is potato starch, and as I live in Spain is there an alternative if I cannot get hold of it. Thank you.

I live in Italy and here it’s called Fecola di Patate… maybe similar in Spanish?

Hi Gary, not a daft question !😊 Potato starch is a gluten-free thickener used for sauces or crisping tofu.If you’re in Spain, just use cornstarch (maicena) instead same amount, works perfectly.

Hi Mona! I’d start by adding 1 tsp miso + 1 tsp soy sauce (reduced salt if you have it) and then taste and adjust as needed 😊
