A roast dinner isn't complete with out gravy, and we're not talking about the stuff you get from a jar. We mean real gravy. Thick, flavoursome and rich. Here's how Enlarge A roast dinner isn't complete with out gravy, and we're not talking about the stuff you get from a jar. We mean real gravy. Thick, flavoursome and rich. Here's how

Step 1: Drain the fat

  • Juices from roast meat
  • 500 ml stock
  • ½ glass of wine
  • 2 springs of Rosemary
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 1 tsp butter
  • salt and pepper

Step 2: The stock

Make 500 ml of stock by dissolving 2 stock cubes in 500 ml of boiling water. Place the roasting tray containing the meat juices over a low heat. Stir in the stock a bit at a time, deglazing the pan as you go

Step 3: Rosemary and wine

Pour in a half glass of white wine and add 2 sprigs of rosemary. Continue to stir keeping the heat on a high. Remove the rosemary sprigs with a slotted spoon after 2 minutes

Step 4: Thicken

Sieve 1 tbsp of flour into the pan, and add about a teaspoon of butter. Whisk in well to thoroughly mix the flour with the stock. Leave for a couple of minutes to allow the gravy to thicken.

Serve as part of a traditional roast dinner.

    Sunday roast and gravy are British, muppet. Don't you forget that the ancestors of white "Americans" were actually from Europe. They bought the "homemade gravy from the south" with them.

    Gravy IS a British dish Mrs Rebecca. Plus what's wrong with British cooks on a British website?

    Why don't they have American cooks on here instead? Fed up with seeign the Brits take over. As if they know other nations food better than the ppl themselves. Homemade American gravy from the south is better by far but we will never see that here i take it
