This gravy is made with gluten-free flour, to cater for a range of dietary requirements.

Ingredients

  • 85 grams of gluten-free all-purpose flour (found in supermarket health or flour aisle)

  • 28 grams of corn starch

  • 113 grams of butter

  • 1 litre of chicken stock (or gluten-free vegetable stock)

  • Sea salt and black pepper (to taste)

  • Few fresh sage leaves or pinch of dried sage spice

Method

  1. Make the roux first. Put a large skillet on the cooktop on medium-high heat. Add butter. When fully melted, add corn starch and gluten-free flour.

  2. Stir continuously until all lumps disappear, then stir for another 4 minutes until fully cooked. Don’t add more flour.

  3. Then make the gravy. Turn cooktop to high heat and in a large saucepan pour in stock. Let it boil, pouring in the roux couple of large spoonfuls at a time.

  4. Whisk to stir. Once it thickens, add in more roux a little at a time to desired thickness. Season with fresh or dried sage, salt and pepper.

  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate night prior and reheat with a bit of extra stock on the day

Makes 1 litre of gravy, perfect for topping the bird, potatoes, stuffing or veggies.
