Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I love pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes and oven-roasted veggies! Though my palate has changed through the years my love for great food continues. Today’s post features a delicious vegan mushroom gravy. It is a simple recipe you can easily add to any holiday spread. Enjoy!
Avalon’s Mushroom Gravy

Pinch Nutmeg, ground
Pinch Cayenne pepper
Roux
2 Tbl Spelt flour
2 Tbl Olive oil
1 Tbl Filtered water
Loving Preparation
1. Create a Roux by placing spelt flour in a
small bowl. Add 2 Tbl olive oil and 1 Tbl
filtered water and whisk until a thick paste is
created. Set aside.
2. Place 1 Tbl of olive oil in a large sauté pan
on medium high heat. Add onion and garlic,
cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3 Tbl of arrowroot powder or kuzu root
dissolved in ½ C of cold water.
