what other sorts of sauces are there other than gravy?

Question

I cant eat vegetables without gravy, and my doctor says to increase fruit and veg intake but lower fat intake. Gravy is fattening, so what alternatives to gravy are there??

Answer 1

Well, of course you can eat veggies without gravy, just start experimenting. There are a lot of great veggie recipes that don't use or need gravy that are yummy.



A lot of veggies are great when drizzled with a little olive oil and maybe some lemon juice. Sauteed mushrooms make a delicious "topping" for potatoes, or spinach, or whatever. Some veggies are really good with tomato sauce: green and yellow squash, green beans cooked with onions and tomatoes are great (add lots of garlic).



I would start learning how to make interesting veggie side dishes (there are tons of recipes online. I guarantee you won't miss your gravy.

Answer 2

What a collection of incorrect solutions except for a pair. Gravy, Sauce or Ragu are fantastic. No no longer the Ragu crap in a jar. in case you talk Italian then that's RAGU. Now that that's out of ways, why is that so important? BTW, authentic Italians use the words Spaghetti or Macaroni. Pasta has been used lately.

Answer 3

Make your own sauces using low fat butter and water.



If I fry some mushrooms or onions when I have them about ready I will use a tea strainer to dust them with regular flour and add a little water to mix it all together and let it cook out.



Others will add the water first and in a glass mix some flour and water together to make a slurry. Add to the mushrooms and stir in and let it cook out.

Dressing is always an option. I love vegetables with ranch dressing. Always go for fat free dressing also.
