This vegetarian gravy recipe will elevate your roast dinner. Build layers of flavour with veggies, earthy porcini mushrooms, red wine and woody herbs, alongside a dollop of cranberry sauce for that all-important tang and sweetness. Make this ahead and freeze – simply defrost and reheat thoroughly before serving. Swap the butter for a plant-based alternative to make a vegan version.
