One of the main downfalls of vegan cooking, especially when it comes to substituting meat-centered dishes like gravy, is the lack of umami. The amino acids in meat are what provides the rich savory flavor. Here, mushroom broth and soy sauce, both rich in umami, give the gravy the traditional flavor without the addition of meat drippings. It’s just as satisfying and delicious as the original version!

Also in this recipe, delicate shallots provide a sweet onion-garlic flavor while rosemary brings a subtle earthiness. Perfectly cozy flavors for any Thanksgiving get together! (Or grab a serving of mashed potatoes, drizzle this bad boy on top and park yourself in front of the TV for a holiday movie marathon, I won’t tell!)
