Rhino’s Country Gravy

Rhino's Country Gravy - The Vegan Rhino

This country gravy, also known as a white gravy, is made from milk that is thickened by a roux, which is flour cooked in vegan butter. This gravy recipe is best with a soy milk because of its natural flavor profile. If you don’t use or have soy milk, you can always opt for oat milk or almond milk, just make sure it is unsweetened. Smother this gravy over Country Fried Cauliflower Steaks or biscuits! The choice is yours.

Yields 8 servings

Ingredients

5 Tbsp. vegan butter

1/3 cup organic all-purpose flour

3 1/2 cups non-dairy milk

1/2 tsp. Himalayan salt

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and sprinkle with flour, stirring for 30 seconds. Slowly pour in non-diary milk and whisk until gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Serve over fried cauliflower steaks and garnish with parsley and side of mashed potatoes and green beans.

 

Chef’s tip: The best type of plant-based milk is soy because it has the most natural flavor. If you can’t use soy, go for unsweetened oat milk.

I just gotta say, @love.legrand makes the most delicious chimichurri sauce and it goes perfect with my cauliflower steaks. The ingredient list is super clean and minimal which is great, and the product is extremely fresh tasting. Whether you are looking for a scrumptious meal or something that can be quick, this is both of those.

Cauliflower Steaks with Le Grand Chimichurri Sauce

Yields 3

Ingredients

1 cauliflower head, cleaned and sliced

1 Le Grand Chinichurri pesto

Marinade:

2 Tbsp. vegetable broth

2 Tbsp. lime juice, fresh squeezed

1 tsp. Chili powder

1 tsp. onion powder

1/4 tsp. smoked paprika

1 tsp. Vitacost Himalayan Fine Pink Salt

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Place the washed and trimmed cauliflower stem side down. Cut directly into the center to crest two halves. You will want to create as many cauliflower steaks as you can, under an inch thick. 
  3. Combine marinade ingredients and evenly coat cauliflower steaks. Place into a container and place into the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  4. On a parchment lined baking sheet, place the cauliflower steaks on and roast for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. 
  5. Once browned, remove from the oven and top “steaks” with Le Grand Chinichurri pesto.

Chef’s tip: Cook on the grill for extra flavor!
