How to prepare the perfect meat-free gravy: for cutlets, chops and porridge

It's no secret that gravy is a versatile and wonderful addition to many dishes: cereals, pasta, mashed potatoes. Most often, gravy is prepared with meat or mushrooms, but if you don't have them at hand, you can do without these products. In this case, you will need sour cream and tomato paste, which, when combined, make a rich gravy.
