Notes

You can leave out the Worcestershire sauce if you want to keep the dish strictly vegetarian in base, though it provides essential umami. Ensure you check for alcohol content on store-bought Worcestershire as some varieties use vinegar-based fermentation. If the sauce is too thin, stir in a little extra flour mixed with cold broth and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
