I went shopping yesterday, long list in hand, and discovered that my
HFS no longer carries the vegan Worcestershire sauce that I rely on. So, I
bought the ingredients to make a from-scratch vegan Worcester sauce (recipe
courtesy "The Uncheese Cookbook"). I've brushed it on portobellos and
grilled them this afternoon, and the sauce tastes great. It's not as
concentrated as Lea & Perrins I remember (meaning you can use it a bit more
liberally), but it's a ringer for the vegan bottled stuff.

*Vegan Worcestershire Sauce* (yields 1.5 cups)
6 T water
6 T brown rice syrup
1/4 cup tamari
2 T apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. barley malt syrup
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
tiny pinch ground cloves
tiny pinch onion powder
Blend, whisk or shake until the mixture is smooth and the powders
are well incorporated. Store in the fridge; this keeps well.
Substitutions (mine):
in place of brown rice syrup -
amazake, FruitSource or date sugar, plus 1 tsp. molasses
(if using the powdered sweeteners, mix with enough weak broth
to form a thick paste or syrup)
in place of barley malt syrup - molasses or sorghum
in place of garlic powder - equivalent fresh garlic
in place of onion powder - tiny amount of minced fresh onion
in place of onion and garlic powders - minced fresh shallots
in place of tamari - regular soy sauce, or reduced sodium tamari/soy sauce
