In the name of cleaning out my fridge before going on vacation, I kept tonight’s supper simple: chipped tofu on toast, or, for the less delicate among us, vegan shit on a shingle.

To start with, I made some breast of tofu (recipe from vegan feast kitchen) and gravy (recipe below).  As you can see from this picture, the gravy was quite lumpy, so I was a bit concerned this post was going to be titled Sunday supper: unmitigated disaster edition.  However, the lumps were mostly a result of my not dicing the shallot and garlic well enough, so they didn’t detract too much from the finished product.


Once that was all done, I toasted up some bread, piled some tofu on top, poured the gravy over, and that’s it!


Easy, tasty, and now I have a little less food in my fridge to deal with.

Gravy:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 shallot, diced
5 cloves garlic, diced
1/2 cup flour
4 tsp. nutritional yeast
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper

1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute shallot and garlic until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in flour, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce to form a smooth paste.
3. Gradually whisk in the broth. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
4. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 8-10 minutes).
