Vegan Gravy
By Ocado
Published on 09 December 2022
Our easy vegan gravy is delicious poured generously over your chosen festive vegan centrepiece (may we recommend our vegan roasted butternut squash with Christmas stuffing?). The depth of flavour in this gravy comes from the sticky caramelised onions and umami-rich porcini mushrooms. Add this to your repertoire of gravy recipes and ensure that every guest at your Christmas table leaves it a little too full but completely satisfied.Time and servings
