Great little recipe when you have no meat or poultry drippings. If you would like to double the recipe, use a Dutch oven to give the vegetables ample space for browning and increase the cooking times by roughly 50 percent. The finished gravy can be frozen. To thaw either a single or double recipe, place the gravy and 1 tablespoon of water in a saucepan over low heat and bring slowly to a simmer. The gravy may appear broken or curdled as it thaws, but a vigorous whisking will recombine it.

This smells fabulous while cooking, tastes great too. I think the prep time is longer than mentioned, but worth it. I substituted 1/2 olive and 1/2 veg. oil for the butter to reduce saturated fat. It took some time and effort to make, so I will definitely triple the recipe and make extra for freezing next time. I hated throwing away the cooked veggies, next time I may freeze them to add to soup or stew.
