BROWN GRAVY:
- 2-3 cups water
- 1/4 red onion, finely diced
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 vegan 'beef' bouillon cube (I used a low sodium vegan 'beef' bouillon cube from, a really good gluten free option)
- 1 tbsp coconut milk
- 1 tsp brown rice flour + 1 tsp buckwheat flour+ 1 tbsp water (mixed into a slurry)
Add oil to a small soup pot, heat over medium heat. Add onion and saute until translucent. Add water and bring to a simmer. Add bouillon cube and mix well until dissolved. Add the slurry mixture and stir very well to dissolve. Once mixture is thickened to your preferred consistency add the coconut milk and whisk in. Add as much pepper as you like and whisk. Reduce heat while you prepare everything.
CHICKN':
- 1-2 cups cauliflower florets
- Half of the gravy

COCONUT MASHED POTATOES:
- 3 small potatoes, peeled and chopped
