Method

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add frozen vegetable base mix, 4 sliced garlic cloves and the fresh rosemary leaves. Cook, stirring until the water has evaporated.
Reduce the heat and cook gently for 20-30 mins until golden. Stir in 3 tbsp olive oil, then add plain flour; cook, stirring for 2-3 mins.
Pour in Tesco Finest vegetable stock and 1ltr boiling water. Bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 30 mins until thickened, stirring occasionally and scraping up any bits stuck to the pan.
Sieve into a freezer-proof container. Stir through 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard; season. Cover and freeze for up to 3 months, or chill for up to 3 days. To serve, slowly reheat the defrosted gravy and bring to the boil.
