Product Information

But 99% of the recipes out there on the internet all start with: ‘Step 1: Take the drippings from your meat…’ and I’m just like… really? Do people never want gravy apart when they’ve just roasted a huge hunk of meat?!

But guess what is practical for those situations where you’re not having a full-on roast? Gravy granules! And that’s what Mark and I used to use in those situations where we just fancied a bit of gravy with dinner.Of course, bone broth is not vegan as it’s made from the bones of animals who lead horrific lives before being slaughtered. Is there a vegan version of bone broth?

In a large skillet, add the oil and heat it over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and lightly saute for a couple of minutes. Then add the potatoes and cook for several minutes to begin softening (4-5 minutes). Bone broth is made by simmering animal bones for up to 48 hours which releases things link glucosamine, collagen, amino acids and electrolytes from the bones. Drinking bone broth is believed to have some health benefits for digestion, immune function, anti-ageing and joint health.Once blended, add the parsley and stir to combine. Next, it’s time to decide how you want to store the homemade vegan bouillon cubes – make frozen cubes, dehydrate into powder, or do both with parts of the puree. You can also keep some fresh, stored in the refrigerator for a week. To make basic cubes, simply line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper that overhangs the edges of the pan. Evenly spread the mixture and then freeze until hardened. You can then cut into cubes.

So with those gravy granules discontinued, we now faced a life of dry toad in the holes and roast dinners. So Mark and I started experimenting making our own… and after a few total fails, we made something even better what you’d get with gravy granules! If you want the cubes to be the same size, I recommend using a square/rectangle baking dish and measuring when scoring the lines. I’m not too ‘perfection-y’ about this, so then I have smaller and larger pieces to choose from. I say used to use because the only gluten free gravy granules we could eat were discontinued a couple of months ago. And not surprisingly, the ‘new recipe’ version now contains onion – a massive no go for most people on the low FODMAP diet. Thanks for that.

Premier Foods, the company behind household name brands such as Mr Kipling and Bisto gravy, has announced the launch of its first plant-based 'beef' flavoured vegan stock cubes as part of its Oxo brand.

Once the vegetables have formed a paste, remove the skillet from the heat. You can transfer the ingredients to a strong blender or food processor to get a smoother consistency if desired. The company has been around since 1838. It commenced with Carl Heinrich Knorr supplying the coffee industry with chicory.

And the best part of all was that it only takes something like 15 minutes to make it. So now, whenever we make a batch, we also freeze half of it too. That way, we can just get it out of the freezer, pop it in the microwave to defrost and it’s just as convenient as having gravy granules. My best gluten free/low FODMAP Christmas roast dinner recipes: Instead I turned to a replacement umami bomb that I *do* keep on hand all the time: sundried tomatoes, which I’ve always found to have a slightly meaty flavor. Tomato is a natural glutamate powerhouse, so it makes sense to me that the sun drying process would concentrate it even more. The tomatoes also help give this beef-less broth a nice, rich, golden color in the end product. Add the remainder of the ingredients (except the parsley), stir well, and then allow to simmer, covered, to cook until softened – this will take around 20 minutes over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally. Next, add the salt and stir well. This will encourage all the excess liquid to release from the veggies. Cook for a further 15-20 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally. Step 4: Blend the vegetable bouillon Salt: it might seem like you’re adding a lot. However, it’s important for preservation, though you can adjust the amount to personal preference.

Alternatively, you can use a scoop/measuring spoon to freeze the puree in measured ‘chunks’ (i.e., 1 Tbsp) instead. For umami: you could add mushrooms or mushroom powder to add extra umami flavor in place of the MSG which is used in supermarket versions. That’s when we discovered this magical thing called ‘gravy browning.’ I know, it sounds awful! But it was the final secret ingredient that we really needed. Then crush the dried cubes into flakes (it would take about a teaspoon to make one cup of soup). How to store homemade bullion cubes.
