Chef's Note

Unlike other gravies where the vegetables are removed from the final dish, this gravy is loaded with blended veggies and herbs, upping not only the flavor but the nutrients as well.
By chopping this mixture, you increase the surface area of the vegetables, allowing for more browning in the oven which leads to more flavor in your gravy.
This mixture can even be roasted a day or two in advance, saving you time the day of.
If you don't have the Vitamix Food Processor, you can easily chop the vegetables using the wet or dry chopping method in your Vitamix blending container. Visit vitamix.com to see how it's done.
