Yields5 Servings
Prep Time10 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time30 mins
 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
 1 small onion, chopped roughly
 3 garlic cloves, chopped
 2 tsp dried thyme
 1 tsp dried rubbed or powdered sage
 several pinches of freshly ground black pepper
 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
 ¾ cup reduced sodium vegetable broth
 ¾ cup water
 1 15 oz can no salt added chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
 2 tbsp coconut aminos
1

Preheat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic in the oil for about 5 minutes. Add the thyme, sage, and pepper and cook for about 3 minutes more.

2

While that is cooking, whisk the arrowroot into the veggie broth and water until dissolved.

3

Add the beans, broth mixture, and coconut aminos to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Add the onions and other stuff from the pan to the blender/food processor and puree again until smooth.

4

Add back to the pot and stir often over medium heat to thicken.

5

Once the gravy thickens, lower the heat to low. Now you can decide exactly how thick you want the gravy by adding splashes of water, anywhere between 1/4 and 1/2 cup. Keep warm and covered until ready to serve.
