Sue's Onion Gravy: Make about 4 cups

Organic ingredients is best:

1 onion 

1 leek 

2 tsp olive oil, butter or coconut oil 

5 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups water

2 Tbs. organic red wine

1 tsp lemon juice

2 Tbs coconut amino

2 Tbs (or more) nutritional yeast

2 tsp parsley

1/2 tsp powder sage

1/4 tsp powdered rosemary

1 tsp thyme

dash more or less of salt

dash lemon pepper

1/4 cup arrowroot

Saute the onions in oil until they are translucent.  Add the garlic and brown.  Add water, wine, lemon juice, and coconut amino's, and bring to a simmer

Using a whisk, beat in remaining ingredients, except arrowroot.

Simmer 15 minutes.

Mix the arrowroot with a 1/4 cup orso of cold water to make a slurry

Whisk the slurry into the simmering gravy and stir.

Simmer over medium heat u ntil thick.

Adjust the thickness b y adding more slurry mixture

Optional suggestions:  I like to use some of the turkey drippings for the liquid part of this recipe.  I also enjoy adding fresh herbs if I have some on hand.   Some chopped fresh parsley saute in with the onions will give it a really nice flavor.  

Remember to play with  your food.  This will give you your own creation.
