Peel an onion and cut it in small cubes, roast them with oil in a pan until
glossy. Add some flour, 3 - 4 tablespoons, roast while stirring until
goldbrown. Add slowly 1/2 liter of vegetable broth (see remark below) while
stirring fast with an eggbeater; take care that the gravy does not go lumpy.
Add pepper, garlic powder, liquid smoke and dry herbs to taste. Nutmeg is a
perfect spice for broccoli and cauliflower dishes!

Take the water that is left from boiling the broccoli;do not pour it away
but use it for the broth in adding the vegetarian bouillon powder.

The consistence of the gravy depends on the ratio flour/broth, so add more
liquid if too thick.

If not vegan but vegetarian, a touch of real butter or sour cream can be
added before serving. As I personally love lemon very much I always add a
little bit of fresh lemon juice to almost every gravy or soup, also a sip of
white wine adds a nice taste.
