Surely that would be the same with real gravy.

Take the meat out of the roasting tin and use the juices left in the bottom as a basis.

Put tin on hob -if it's chicken add large glass of white wine, a squeeze of lemon and some chopped garlic (optional) and season to taste. Cook off some of the alcohol stirring continuously scraping at the brown yummy bits at bottom of pan.

If it's beef or lamb add some red wine, some stock (if there aren't enough juices i.e. if you've used a really lean joint), some thyme or rosemary (preferably fresh) and stir as above. You can add flour to thicken if you like..or a spoonful of redcurrant jelly..

Simple takes 5 mins

My Mum had promised befre we leave for Australia in January that i will be making proper gravy. I do use juices from the meat now and the stock is my veg jiuce ...it's just that i still mix it up wiith a load of bisto

I am bringing some bisto in the container but hopefully i wont use it.........

Issie

Now thats sounds yummy !!!

Do alot of people use wine to make gravy ?

johanne

I find the gravy from Aldi is the best yet. I think its called chefs kitchen or something like that Our local Safeway started to sell Bisto but now its gone, forever seems like..

I use meat juices to make gravy along with wine also.

But sometimes I use concentrated bouillon, do they sell that in Oz?

Make your own. Good rich stock, bit of wine and reduce it down. Freeze and use when you want - perfect.

Actually a thought just occurred to me. I like to add some HP to my gravey when we are having sausages and also to cottage pie, can you get HP or something similar is Oz?

Wendy

Thankyou both. Will try them

And me, but with oxo



Yup, they sell HP sauce here

So how do you make gravy with no meat juices.

My lot love roast potatoes - no meat just gravy.

Sorry I am a die hard Bisto fan....too easy for the time I have available.

Cheers

You can try making a vegetable stock and adding vegemite or other yeast extract, it gives a meaty flavour and thicken it up with some cornflour. I usually use concentrate bouilon which has a very strong meaty flavour and thicken with cornflour and cold water.
