How To Make Delicious Thanksgiving & Christmas Gravy

In a recent post I showed you to how to cook a simple yet delicious Thanksgiving turkey.

We couldn’t let you accompany this with substandard gravy made from freeze dried granules!

So here's our step by step guide on how to make delicious gravy from scratch.

Preparation time: 15 mins

Cooking time: 15 mins

Total time: 30 mins

Servings: 8

Ingredients:

• Turkey filling (2 onions and lemon that were steamed inside our Thanksgiving turkey)
• 3 tomatoes
• 2 cups of chicken stock
• A few sprigs of rosemary
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Quarter your tomatoes using the Chef Remi Chef’s Knife Knife.

We recommend using the Chef Remi Chef’s Knife as the blade is made from razor sharp stainless steel, which can cut through tomatoes & mushy onions and lemons (coming up) without slipping and sliding.

We also recommend the Chef Remi Cutting Board as it naturally kills surface bacteria, so you can slice and chop away, without worrying about germs or food poisoning.

2. Chop up your 2 onions and lemon that were inside your Thanksgiving turkey – they should be soft and mushy after being steamed inside the turkey cavity.

3. Place a skillet or roasting tin on top of the stovetop on a low heat. Add the chopped onions and lemon.

4. Add a few sprigs of rosemary (no need to chop), the quartered tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Gently fry and stir using a nylon kitchen spoon.

We recommend using the Chef Remi 3 Piece Kitchen Spoon Set.

As these spoons are made from food-safe nylon, they will never scratch your precious nonstick, Teflon, ceramic enamel or coated pans, unlike metal spoons.

They also won’t absorb odors, unlike wooden spoons, and they won’t deteriorate, unlike silicone spoons.

 5. Mash the softened vegetable using the back of the Chef Remi 3 Piece Kitchen Spoon.

6. Measure out 2 cups of chicken stock using Chef Remi Measuring Cups. Our cups have non-drip, lipped spouts, so you can measure and pour liquid ingredients without causing a mess.

They also have angled handles with thumb rests, which are designed to give you grip and comfort when you pour. They’re very lightweight and portable, unlike heavy Pyrex or glass cups, so anyone can use them without accidents.

7. Pour the chicken stock over the vegetables and rosemary, cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the stock to reduce, stirring occasionally with the Chef Remi Kitchen Spoon.

8. Uncover and, using a sieve, strain the gravy mixture through into a gravy boat or serving dish, using the back of the Chef Remi 3 Piece Kitchen Spoon to push it through the sieve so you extract every last drop of flavor.

9. Use a balloon whisk to ensure the gravy is smooth and even.

We recommend using the Chef Remi Kitchen Whisk Set as they make whisking tasks less of a chore. They’re extremely lightweight, so no more aching wrists and arms.

Plus, as they are made from food-grade silicone, they will never scratch your expensive nonstick cookware and bakeware.

Once you see how easy it is to make homemade gravy from scratch, you’ll never want freeze dried granules or powders ever again!
