DESCRIPTION

Make homemade roast pork gravy in about 10 minutes. It’s easy, delicious, and perfect to serve over pork and mashed potatoes.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 Tbsp. melted fat from roast pork*
  • 4 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups drippings**
  • 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning***
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Measure the fat into a medium saucepan. Warm it over low heat.
  2. Whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste, called a roux. Increase the heat to medium and cook the roux while whisking continuously for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Take the saucepan off of the heat. Slowly drizzle in the drippings while whisking continuously to keep it smooth. Stir in the poultry seasoning.
  4. Set the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it up to a boil while stirring often. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir it often as it simmers until it gets to the desired thickness. Remove it from the heat.
  5. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

*If you don’t have enough fat from the roast, use butter.
**If you don’t have 3 cups of drippings, make up the amount using unsalted chicken stock. You can also use up to 1/2 cup of dry white wine as part of the 3 cups.
***Instead of poultry seasoning, you can use 1/4 tsp. dried thyme and 1/4 tsp. dried sage.
