This rich and velvety tomato gravy is a comforting vegetarian dish that brings a deep, savoury depth to your table. Unlike a standard pasta sauce, this gravy is thickened with a traditional roux and enriched with double cream, creating a luxurious texture that coats everything it touches. The addition of fresh thyme and a hint of cayenne pepper provides a sophisticated balance of earthy herbs and subtle heat.
Perfect for a hearty weekend brunch or a midweek supper, this homemade sauce is traditionally served over warm biscuits or fluffy mashed potatoes. It is an excellent store-cupboard recipe, relying on tinned tomatoes and onions to create something truly special. Whether you are looking for a meat-free alternative to traditional gravy or a versatile new side, this creamy tomato version is sure to become a family favourite.
