Vegan gravy?

I've inflicted Veganuary on my family this year (DH and two older teen boys) on the basis that I've pandered to their needs for nearly two decades but now, if I'm doing the cooing and shopping, I get to chose. FWIW and so as not to get diverted they're all pretty good around the house but I've always been in charge of food because I enjoy it and because when DC were young I wanted control of their diet

Anyway they decided they'd do a roast today, which was absolutely fine. I ate all the bits that were vegan and had a it with a bean burger I'd previously made and frozen.

And gravy made from Kallo vegan granules, which was very disappointing, watery, didn't dissolve properly and didn't thicken.

Is there a better alternative?

I know I could have made a proper "gravy" type sauce but the whole point was that they were cooking and I wasn't making life too complicated 😁

A few of the bistos are fine. You will soon become an expert at scanning ingredient lists Grin.

Am I missing something? Even the vegetarian bisto granuals arent vegan (dairy)

No dairy in red Bisto. Or the green vegetable one.

Red bisto is, just doesn’t say on the label suitable for vegans, not sure why.

Yep Red Bisto is vegan

ElderAve · 19/01/2020 19:57

That's hilarious. I've just checked the Lidl "beef" gravy granules everyone else had and yes indeed, completely free of animal product. Grin

If your on Facebook there is an accidentally vegan page which I’ve found really handy. Seems lots of foods are ok for vegans but don’t specify on the label Smile
