LIGHTNING GRAVY 1 1/2 tablespoons beef, chicken, or pork soup base 1 tablespoon fresh or 1/2 as much dry parsley 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons Wondra flour 1-2 tablespoons butter 1/2 tablespoon olive oil (or meat drippings) 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (or onion soup mix) 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves minced garlic) 1 1/2 cups cold broth or water 1/4 onion, thinly sliced or minced
This is a casual, quick, gravy to help dress up weekday meals. Use it when you don't have the makings for gravy, or to top mashed potatoes or rice, or even to dress up a store-bought roast chicken. Feel free to vary quantities as desired. Add more flour for a thicker gravy, or more broth to thin it out. Or try using vegetable broth for a different taste. Stir all ingredients together in a large Pyrex bowl or measuring cup and microwave for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let stand until sauce thickens. Add a pinch of sage to chicken gravy, or a spoon or so of ketchup to beef gravy or tomato sauce for pork gravy. Enjoy. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
