Easy Pan Gravy Ww Points 1 Food

WW RICH ROSEMARY GRAVY

Steps:

• To make the gravy, use a rubber spatula to scrape the pan juices from the roasting pan into a fat separator, leaving the browned bits in the pan. Let stand 5 minutes; then pour off the dark brown drippings into a 2-quart glass measuring cup; reserve the clear yellow fat in the separator. Add enough stock to the drippings to measure 5 cups.
• Place the roasting pan over two burners on high heat. Measure 1/4 cup of the reserved fat and add to the pan. Whisk in the flour (a flat "roux whisk" works best to reach into corners) and let bubble for 30 seconds. Since this is a reduced amount of flour and fat, it won't coat the entire pan so try to concentrate the ingredient to one part of pan to prevent the flour from scorching. One cup at a time, whisk in the stock mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, whisking often, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan, until reduced to about 4 cups, about 3 minutes. For a thicker gravy, whisk in the cornstarch, but keep in mind that as the gravy cools, it will also thicken, so it might not be necessary.
• Strain through a coarse wire sieve into a bowl. Taste; season with the salt and, if desired, pepper and rosemary. Transfer to a warmed sauceboat.

WW ONION GRAVY, HEAVY ON THE ONIONS

Steps:

• Peel and cut the onions into wedges, about an eighth of an onion each.
• Put these onion wedges into a saucepan, add the beef stock and heat until just boiling.
• Meanwhile, mix the flour with the cold water until all lumps are gone.
• Slowly add the flour and water mixture to the stock, stirring quickly until it is all mixed in.
• Put the rosemary sprigs in whole.
• Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover and cook for 20-30 minutes, until the onions are cooked to your liking and the gravy has thickened.
• Remove the rosemary sprigs and serve over your favourite meat dish.

QUICK AND EASY PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• After baking a chicken transfer the bird to another plate and cover tightly with foil.
• Pour all the drippings and fat into a glass measuring cup, making sure to scrape all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Put 4 teaspoons of chicken fat from the top into a saucepan. Discard remaining chicken fat.
• Add 4 teaspoons flour to chicken fat, stir with whisk.
• Add pan drippings. If you have more than half a cup, feel free to add them all. The more drippings you add the more flavorful the gravy will be.
• Add broth (or 1 c water with a bouillon cube). Bring to boil and continue to whisk until desired consistency.

SIMPLE PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• While the turkey rests, make the gravy: Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the turkey pan drippings into a medium bowl, leaving behind any browned bits, or "fond," stuck to the pan. Press down on the solids to get as much liquid as possible into the bowl; discard the solids. Pour the liquid into a measuring cup or a fat separator and allow the fat to rise to the top. Meanwhile, place the roasting pan across two burners over medium-low heat. When the pan is sizzling, add the wine and stir, scraping up all the fond in the pan. Turn off the heat and pour the wine mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl.
• Ladle or spoon off the fat from the pan drippings and discard; set aside the jus. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Then sprinkle in the flour and whisk until the flour is completely incorporated and light golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Slowly add the wine mixture, whisking constantly. When it has fully absorbed into the roux, slowly add the reserved jus. Small additions of liquid and continuous whisking are the keys to smooth gravy.
• Finish the gravy by adding turkey or chicken stock a ½ cup at a time and whisking; taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. (You'll need a total of 2½-3 cups of liquid to make the gravy.) When the gravy is thick yet pourable and perfectly seasoned to taste, transfer it to a bowl or gravy boat and serve immediately.
