Serves 8
Unsaved Classic Holiday Gravy

Ingredients

Serves 8

  • 2 oz Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tsp Peeled Garlic Cloves, minced fine
  • 1/4 cup(s) Fresh Chopped Celery & Onion
  • 1 tsp thyme, leaves only roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup(s) Unbleached All Purpose Flour
  • 2 1/2 cup(s) chicken stock, add less or more as desired for consistency

Instructions

  1. Place a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add butter and allow to melt before adding garlic, savory vegetables, and chopped thyme. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes or until veggies are just translucent but not brown.
  3. Stir flour into veggies and cook for 5 to 10 minutes or until darkened slightly. Add approximately 1 cup of stock at a time, whisking vigorously each time to combine.
  4. Continue to whisk (use an immersion blender for a smoother texture) and cook until gravy thickens, approximately 8 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with cracked black pepper and salt. Keep warm for serving.
  5. Chef's Note: For additional flavor, add beef drippings or rendered turkey fat in place of butter. To add more flavor to the stock, add pan juices.
  6. Additional Chef's Note: Gravy thickens as it cooks. If it's too thin, continue cooking to the desired consistency.
