The refrigerator light goes on...

Making your own chicken stock is ideal but you can use prepared. Saffron Road brand has been a favorite of ours for a while. The flavor is good and has a reasonable amount of sodium.

I think that using the garbanzo flour makes a much better gravy - it adds a subtle nutty flavor to the gravy.

Healthy Holiday Gravy recipe from Dr. Gourmet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup no salt added chicken stock
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp. fresh rosemary leaves
  • to taste fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp. all purpose flour or garbanzo flour

Place the chicken stock, salt, white wine, water, fresh rosemary, and pepper in a stainless steel or non-reactive sauce pan over medium heat.

Bring to a boil and reduce the heat until the liquid is simmering.

Cook for about 20 - 30 minutes until reduced by half.

In a second sauce pan, melt the butter over low-medium heat and then add the flour.

Whisk together over low-medium heat.

After cooking for about two minutes, strain the liquid from the chicken stock mixture (to remove the rosemary) into the pan with the roux, whisking continuously.

As the gravy thickens, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about ten minutes, whisking frequently.
