Gluten Free Gravy:
✅ 2 onions 🧅
✅ 2 carrots 🥕
✅ 2 sticks of celery
✅ 25 g dried porcini mushrooms 🍄
✅ olive oil
✅ 2 fresh bay leaves 🍃
✅ 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
✅ 2 tablespoons quality blackcurrant jam
✅ 2 tablespoons plain flour
✅ 2 teaspoons yeast extract
✅ 1 tablespoon tomato purée 🍅
✅ 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 🍷
✅ 1.5 litres organic vegetable stock 🌽

Method 👩‍🍳
Step 1: Peel the onions, wash the carrots, then roughly chop with the celery and porcini. 🧅
Step 2: Place in a large pan on a medium heat with a splash of oil and all the herbs. Fry for 25 minutes, or until turning golden, stirring occasionally. 🥄
Step 3: Add the stock and jam, and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until sticky and caramelised.
Step 4: Stir in the flour, then the Marmite, tomato purée and red wine vinegar. 🍅
Step 5: Pour in the stock, then bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer for around 10 minutes, or until thickened and reduced to the consistency of your liking. 🔥
Step 6: Pour it through a coarse sieve into a large bowl, using the back of a spoon to push through all that lovely flavour.
Step 7: Taste and season to perfection, cool to room temperature, then pour into containers or bags and pop into the fridge or freezer, ready to finish off on Christmas Day ❄️
Step 8: On the day, if frozen, take the gravy out to defrost when your nut roast goes into the oven, then simply heat through in a pan ready to serve. 🎅
