Cheezy Sauce, Veganomicon

Ingredients

• 2 servings vegetable broth 2 cups
• 8 servings nutritional yeast (3/4 cup)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/8 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp or 1 packet yellow mustard
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp thyme
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/8 cup lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Combine the broth and flour in a measuring cup and whisk with a fork until dissolved. Preheat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Place the oil and garlic in the pan and gently cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often and being careful not to burn the garlic.
2. Add the thyme, salt, and pepper and cook for about 15 seconds. Add the broth, turmeric, and nutritional yeast and raise the heat to medium. Use a whisk to stir constantly. The mixture should start bubbling and thickening in about 3 minutes; if it doesn't, turn the heat a bit higher.
3. Once the mixture is bubbling and thickening, stir and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the lemon and mustard. The mixture should resemble a thick, melty cheese. Taste for salt (you may need more, depending on how salty your vegetable broth is). Turn off the heat, and cover the pan to keep it warm until ready to use. The top might thicken a bit while it sits, but you can just stir it and it will be fine. Serve warm.
