Cabbage and Onion Gravy


(Vegan and Gluten Free – A great replacement for cheese sauce)

Vegetable oil
2 medium-large onions, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
3 cups of thinly sliced cabbage
1 cup of vegetable broth (maybe a wee bit more)
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
¼ cup of nutritional yeast (please be aware – this is not baking or brewer's yeast)

Put a small amount of oil in a skillet. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and the cabbage. Stir and cook for a few minutes.

Add the salt (go very light on the salt – perhaps ¼ teaspoon), the garlic powder, and the nutritional yeast.

Stir and cook for 40 minutes. During the cooking, stir the cabbage and onion regularly to avoid sticking. Add a little of the broth from time to time to help prevent sticking.

Watch the heat closely. Use your own experience and good judgment. You may want to lower the heat a bit, or even raise it.

When everything is well cooked and the onions and cabbage have caramelized, place everything in a blend. Blend the vegetables, adding additional broth as needed to reach the desired consistency.

Taste and add more salt if you think it's needed. Black pepper or even crushed red pepper are fun to add.


This may be used as a gravy or even as a replacement for cheese sauce.
