Recipe
Simple Gravy
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
- 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or turkey broth/stock
- 1 teaspoon Emeril’s Original Essence or other Creole Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Directions
To make the gravy, heat a small saucepan over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Whisk in the flour to blend. With a wooden spoon, stir constantly until the mixture is the color of peanut butter, about 7 minutes. This is called making a roux.
Add the onion and celery and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes.
Whisk in the chicken broth, Essence, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the mixture thickens and the floury taste is gone, about 20 minutes.
