Written by Kate Tietjeturkey or biscuits and gravy, this recipe is one for the books. Personally, I like to drench my mashed potatoes in gravy — yum!
Homemade gravy is so easy, even during the busy holiday season. Really. And it’s actually a really nourishing food. Packaged gravy is full of modified food starch, MSG, and who-knows-what. Do you really want to eat that? And when homemade gravy isn’t any harder and is way yummier, you don’t have any excuses. 🙂
Homemade Gravy
Ingredients:
- 2 cups chicken stock or drippings from a whole bird + water (or stock) to make 2 cups.
- 2 tbsp. arrowroot powder (you can use double the amount of flour, but it’s smoother this way)
- 1/2 tsp. onion powder
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Step 1: If using a whole bird, pour some water (about 1 cup) into the pan and scrape the dripping. You can add 1/4 cup white wine, if desired, instead of using all water.
Step 2: Measure how much you have and add water or stock to make 2 cups. Or, you can just use all the stock.
Step 3: Stir in the arrowroot and onion powder.
Step 4: Pour the mixture into a saucepan and add some salt. Stir and cook over medium-high heat until the gravy becomes bubbly and thickened.
Step 5: That’s it! Taste and add salt and pepper as desired. It is so simple.
