Imagine a rich, creamy, and versatile gravy that requires no pan drippings and doubles as fondue sauce. It can even be dairy-free if that's your thing. All this is possible with chickpea flour. The technique is to cook the flour slowly with oil as a thickener dubbed roux by the French. For a creamy gravy, choose either plant-based or cow’s milk; use stock or water for a lighter sauce.

The possibilities: Pour the butterscotch-colored, toasty-tasting gravy over mashed potatoes, thickly sliced toast, plain noodles or rice, chicken, or meatloaf; use it as a simmer sauce for pork chops or root vegetables; or keep it warm in a chafing dish for dipping cubes of bread and cheese, fondue-style.
