Brown Gravy
2 1/2 tablespoons solid vegetable fat 4 tablespoons flour 1 tablespoon chopped onion 1 small tomato, seeded, skinned and chopped 2 cups vegetable broth or water salt to taste
Put the fat into a frying pan and when hot, add the flour and stir constantly until a nice brown. Add the chopped onion and continue to stir for a few minutes; then the tomato and stir for about 5 minutes or until the liquid is mostly evaporated, as this will give it a good flavor. Add one third of the liquid and stir until smooth and free from lumps. Add the rest of the liquid and let boil slowly for 10 minutes; then strain and serve.
