Important message: To everyone who loves to cook and loves true natural flavour.
Before you start your recipe we strongly recommend you have the very best ingredients. Stale ingredients and stale herbs and spices will do little to give the true flavours that exciting recipes promise.
We invite you to check our premium herbs and spices for the very best freshness and quality. To BUY go to: SPICES
100m/l red wine
11/2 Cups of very best chicken stock
2 x Tablespoons plain flour
1/4 x Cup water
50g x Butter - unsalted
1/2 x Teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of salt
This recipe follows our Old Fashioned Parsly Sauce. See recipes
Having finished your roasting pour of any excess fat, keeping the crunchy bits. Add the wine then with a wooden spoon scrape and stir while the sauce reduces a little.
Next add the stock, stir well then strain the mixture into a saucepan and boil, allowing to reduce so you have a strong flavour building to your taste.
Dissolve the plain flour in the water then whisk into the stock taking the saucepan off the heat while doing this then return to boil whisking well so it thickens.
Now add the butter bit by bit over a low heat to give your gravy a soft sheen ready ready to serve.
When adding salt, do not have the salt dominate the other flavours. Less is better.
