Roasted Vegetable Gravy Food

VEGETARIAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top position in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Toss the onions, celery, carrots and garlic with the oil and 1 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the vegetables are charred in some places, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Bring the roasted vegetables, 1 cup water, mushrooms, thyme, sun-dried tomatoes, soy sauce, bay leaf and 1 teaspoon salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is gone, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 6 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring back to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and gently simmer until reduced by about one third, about 45 minutes. Strain the stock through a strainer into a large liquid measuring cup, use the back of a ladle to squeeze all the liquid out of the solids (there should be about 4 cups of stock). If not making gravy right away, let the stock cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
• To make the gravy, warm the stock slightly in a medium saucepan if it has been refrigerated. Melt the butter in another medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the sage leaves, and stir for 30 seconds; remove and set aside. Add the flour to the saucepan, and stir until smooth and lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour in the warm stock while whisking constantly until smooth and thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Chop up the fried sage, stir it into the gravy along with the parsley and season to taste with pepper.

VEGGIE GRAVY

Steps:

• Gently cook the veg, herbs and butter in a pan for 10-12 mins until the vegetables start to brown. Scatter over the sugar and continue to cook for 1-2 mins until a little caramelised. Stir in the flour and combine well. Add the Marmite, if using, tomato purée and vinegar. Pour over the stock a little at a time stirring as you go.
• Simmer everything together until you have a thickened sauce, this will take about 30 mins. Sieve, then add soy sauce and a touch more Marmite to season and colour, if you like. Will freeze for up to two months.

ROASTED VEGETABLE GRAVY

POT ROAST AND VEGETABLE GRAVY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Place roast in a pan and season with tomato paste, garlic, bay leaves, pepper, salt and onion salt. Put 1 1/2-inches of water in the bottom of the pan. Surround the roast with 1/2-inch cubes or stew cuts of fresh vegetables.
• Cover the roast pan with another interlocking roast pan of the same size and roast for 2 hours. Then turn over and cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Separate the vegetables from the natural gravy stock. Pour the stock into a heavy gauge pot. Scrape the bottom of the roast pan and add to stock. You should have about 3 quarts of stock, if not add bouillon broth.
• Simmer and skim off the fat, then put 1 1/2 pints of the stock in a pan and add flour and whip until smooth. Gradually add this slurry to the simmering stock until a smooth thickness is achieved. Add the roasted vegetables to the gravy.
• Boil or steam potatoes until well done. Place in a mixing bowl and add the above ingredients. Whip, then serve.
• Rice potatoes through fine hole attachment. Dice onions fine in buffalo chopper and add to potatoes. Combine this with eggs, salt, parsley and white pepper. Add 2 pounds of flour and check consistency then add baking powder. If batter seems too loose or watery, add more flour until thick but not too stiff. In a large skillet, add enough vegetable oil so that when melted it will equal about 1/8-inch in bottom. Oil must be very hot before using or pancakes will turn out greasy. Spoon batter into pan about 2 ounce ovals. When brown, place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.

ROASTED VEGETABLE CORNUCOPIAS WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• MAKE CORNUCOPIAS: Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
• Fold 6 18"-long aluminum foil sheets into quarters. Roll each one into a cone. Bend the "tail" end of the foil cone, if desired.

Cut the pastry dough into twenty 1/2-inch strips. Loosely wrap 1 of the strips around the pointed end of the foil cone. Spiral the pastry strip around the cone, overlapping the edges as you wrap. Add a new strip by brushing the end of the pastry strip with the egg wash to adhere. Wrap the foil cone with 4 more strips of pastry, gluing with the egg wash as you wrap.
• Place the cones on their sides on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
