Faster than caramelised onion gravy, this easy vegan gravy uses Madeira wine as a shortcut to get fragrance, sweetness and acidity all in one. It also gets a subtle savoury note from a touch of soy sauce. This is special enough to serve on Christmas Day, but is a great accompaniment to any vegan roast.
