a vegan thanksgiving day 2

for my second thanksgiving idea, i present creamy smashed baby reds with a white wine, carrot and rosemary gravy.

can we say yum?

 

creamy smashed baby reds w/ white wine, carrot and rosemary gravy

 

for potatoes

8-10 medium sized baby reds – peeled and chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped 

2 tbsp. vegan butter 

handful of fresh chives - chopped

½ cup soy creamer 

salt and pepper 

½ cup vegan sour cream 

1 tsp garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

 

for gravy

½ yellow onion – chopped

1 clove garlic – chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

3 carrots – chopped into larger pieces

1 celery rib – chopped

3 1/2 cups broth – veggie or no-chicken (reserve ½ cup for thinning of gravy)

1 tbsp fresh rosemary – chopped

1/2 cup white wine

salt and pepper to taste

 

in a stockpot, heat your oil and add your onions and garlic.  cook until transparent.  add your carrots and celery and broth.  cook until the carrots are very tender, approximately 10-15 minutes on a low/medium heat. 

in the meantime, peel and chop potatoes into small cubes. place into boiling salted water and cook until easily pierced  with a fork. drain. 

add vegan butter and soy creamer, and mash until smooth. add garlic powder, salt, and 

pepper to taste. add sour cream until desired texture is achieved. fold in chopped chives. 

now, with an immersion blender, blend the contents of your carrot/celery mixture together very well; until pureed.  add the white wine and rosemary and cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until all of the favors have blended together. Add salt and pepper to taste to your liking.  use the ½ cup of hot broth reserved to thin the gravy should it be too thick.

garnish with fresh chives.

enjoy!

I never thought I'd feel this way about gravy, but that gravy is BEAUTIFUL.
