Gravy is a very easy and delicious way to add a lot of flavor to a simple dish. A plate with potatoes, vegetables and possibly a meat substitute suddenly becomes a lot more appealing. But actually it is also incredibly tasty just to dip a few slices white bread in the gravy.
There's just one challenge to eating gravy while following a plant-based diet: generally, you use the cooking liquid from a piece of meat as a base. As I showed with the miso gravy, that is not necessary at all, and you can also make a delicious gravy that is completely vegan . Even though I personally find it worthwhile to make the misojus, sometimes you want something easier. The book VEGAN by The Happy Pear ️ provides the solution, offering 3 different recipes for an easy gravy. This recipe is based on the easiest gravy of these.

Add the corn juice to the gravy. Bring to a boil again and simmer gently for about 5 minutes until it reaches the desired thickness
optional: Strain the gravy so you get a smooth gravy. Like me, do you like having a slightly coarser gravy? Then you can skip this step
