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.
