I started the whole big recipe and lost it. So here's the gravy, I'll get the rest later. I'm tired.
This is from the Nov 1995, Vegetarian Times
2 tsp margarine (not being vegan, I use butter)
4 Tbs finely chopped onion
4 rounded Tbs whole wheat flour
4 cups seitan cooking liquid or water (the seitan is used in the main dish)
4 Tbs tamari or soy sauce - IF you are using water rather than the seitan liquid
black pepper to taste.
melt butter or margarine in heavy skillet over med heat (if it smokes it's too hot) Add onion and saute until soft, about 2 mins. Transfer onion to small ceramic bowl, wipe skillet with paper towel or napkin. Add flour to skillet, cook, stiring costantly, until it browns and has a "toasted" fragrance. (don't over cook but this will give your brown color and add flavor).
Remove flour from heat; add liquids. Return to heat, cook, whisking constantly until comes to a boil and thickens - about 5 mins. Stir in onion and pepper to taste. Cook another minute. If too thick, add some more liquid and simmer a minute.
makes 4 1/2 cups.
