      Title: Basic Brown Sauce
 Categories: Sauces
      Yield: 2 Cups
 
      2 c  Vegetable broth
      2 tb Tamari
      1 tb Corn starch; dissolved in:
      2 tb Water
           Salt
           Black pepper; freshly ground
 
  Instead of the traditional roux thickener (butter or oil and flour),
  this sauce is thickened with corn starch. Additions to this
  infinitely versatile sauce include minced herbs, sauteed shallots,
  or a splash of wine. It can also be transformed into a creamy gravy
  with the addition of 1/4 cup plain unsweetened nondairy milk. Use it
  like a gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, vegan meatloaf or burgers,
  stuffed portobellos, or sauteed seitan.
  
  Combine the broth and tamari in a small saucepan over high heat and
  bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, whisk in corn starch mixture,
  and stir until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste
  with salt and pepper and serve hot. Store leftovers in a covered
  container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
