Rich Vegetarian Gravy

• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 (1 1/8 ounce) knorr vegetable stock
• 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon tamari
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (if you can find a vegetarian brand, if not simply omit)
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
• 2 cups cold water

1. Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat along with oil, onions and garlic. Let simmer for a few minutes until onions are tender and just starting to brown.
2. Turn heat as low as possible (or remove pan from heat) and stir in flour until you have a smooth paste. Return to a low heat and cook for a minute or two.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the tamari, Worcester sauce, pepper and stock pot and stir until combined. If you find the mixture is too thick add a splash of cold water and continue stirring. Gradually add about a cup of water and stir until combined.
4. Add more water (at least 1/2 a cup or more if you like thinner gravy) and return to stove over medium heat and keep stirring until warm and thick.
5. Serve with your favourite veggie sausages and mashed potatoes and enjoy!
