    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Before you use the juices to make gravy, remove any fat by skimming the surface, drawing it off with a cooking baster. (Or you could try a gravy separator, which is a jug specially designed to allow you to pour off the juice and leave the fat behind.)

    2 Place the meat juices in a pan and add the onion. Cook until softened. Stir in the flour and cook for 2-3 minutes. Gradually stir in the stock (ideally use a wooden spoon) and cook over a high heat until the gravy thickens. Strain the gravy for a smooth consistency. Return to the pan and add some roasted garlic purée if desired. Heat through.

    HFG tip

    You can replace some of the stock with a little wine if desired.
