Gravy

[yummymum]

does anybody have a nice gravy recipe?

[masterchef]

Put enough oil into a saucepan to just cover the base thinly, add a small chopped onion and fry lightly, add �pint of water and any juices from the meat you are having with the gravy.Add �teaspoon of liquid Oxo and thicken with 4 teaspoonfuls of gravy granules.If it thickens too much dilute it with a little wine, red or white, whichever you have to hand.
If no wine just add more water. If it is not thick enough for your liking just gradually add a few more gravy granules.
Very tasty!

Add 1tblspn of plain flour to roast sediment in baking tin. Stir in flour till creamy If too wattery - add more flour. For dark color add either Browning/Oxo/Bisto, salt.

Gently heat & stir gravy to thicken; add beer & stock to increase quantity.

i always thicken mine with an equal mix of cornflour and bisto gravy POWDER not granules - i think if you use only granules then the gravy isnt very nice. use meat juices and anything else i fancy to chuck in, if it isnt quite thick enough then i add a few granules at the end.

Just for the veggies amongst us:-

1/2 pint of hot vegetable stock (using bouillon or vegetable water) to which you add 1 heaped tablespoon of tomato pur�e and 1 tsp dried mixed herbs, mix well then heat up in a saucepan.

Mix up 4 level tsp of bisto gravy powder (not the granules, they're not veggie) with a little cold water until it's a smooth paste. Add to the boiling hot stock, stir well and remove from the heat as soon as it reaches the thickness you want.

BusyBee - Bisto's gravy powder is definitely veggie! I've been using it for years now - it has the little green V sign on the side of the packet (its ingredients are potato starch, salt, wheat starch, colour (E150c), dried yeast and onion powder, although I am sure it just used to be cornflour and colouring lol)

thank you all, i found one on the net which uses balsamic vinegar so i might take some of your ideas and add a bit of that, i will have to play around. thanks again

For those in a hurry: Gary Rhodes (remember him?) highly recommended Crosse & Blackwells packet White wine gravy & (darker) Madeira wine gravies. Having used them many times over the last 10 years or so I can endorse his view. Merry Xmas all.

fry one or half of a chopped onion with some fat/butter or oil slowly on a low hob to caramalise. I use virgin olive oil, then when thats done add some stuffing into this, fry this up also. Have you gravy granuals ready and kettle boiled. Either make your gravy up seperatly and add or add boiled water to the mixture and mix in gravy trying not to get any lumps which can be difficult. Add some herbs like rosemary or what every you prefer. I put in dried one's since its difficult for me to get to the store.

Sorry meant to add the best gravy is when you can add a little stock, usually we add chicken stock and the gravy is yummy especialy if we make stuffing in with the chicken then add it to the gravy, makes a world of difference.
