Gravy

Gravy is a versatile and essential component in many meals, adding a rich, flavorful sauce that enhances the taste of your dishes. This recipe combines a few simple ingredients to create a delicious and savory chicken gravy, perfect for pouring over mashed potatoes, meats, or veggies.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp vinegar
30g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
2 cups chicken gravy
400g
2 tsp butter
10g
1 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
16g
1 cup light sour cream
230g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Roux:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 tsp of butter over medium heat. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Once the butter is melted and starts to bubble, add the 1 tbsp of all-purpose white wheat flour. Stir constantly using a whisk or a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes smooth and the raw flour taste is cooked out, usually about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the Chicken Gravy:
- Gradually pour in the 2 cups of chicken gravy while continuously whisking to prevent lumps from forming.
- Keep stirring until the mixture is well combined and starts to thicken, approximately 3-5 minutes.
3. Incorporate Other Ingredients:
- Add the 2 tbsp of vinegar and 2 tsp of brown sugar to the gravy mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Allow the mixture to simmer gently, letting the flavors meld together. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the Sour Cream:
- Reduce the heat to low and add the 1 cup of light sour cream to the gravy.
- Stir continuously until the sour cream is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Make sure not to let the gravy boil after adding the sour cream to prevent curdling.
5. Season to Taste:
- Taste your gravy and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Start with a small amount and adjust as necessary.
6. Simmer and Serve:
- Allow the gravy to simmer on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve the gravy hot over your favorite dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted meats, or vegetables.

Tips:

- Ensure the vinegar and brown sugar are well combined before adding them to the gravy to create a balanced sweetness and tangy flavor.

- Use a whisk to gradually blend the flour into the melted butter, creating a roux without lumps for a smooth gravy.

- Slowly incorporate the chicken gravy into the roux to avoid clumps; consistent stirring is key.

- Adding the sour cream at a lower temperature will help prevent it from curdling and ensure a creamy finish.

- Season with salt and pepper gradually, tasting as you go to get the desired flavor.

This chicken gravy is a wonderful addition to any meal, bringing a delectable blend of flavors to your table. With its creamy texture and balanced taste, it pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, making it a go-to recipe for enhancing your culinary creations.
