Gravy Recipe | وصفة المرق

Ingredients

2 chicken stock cube / bouillon cube (sub 2 tsp powder) (Note 1)

2 1/4 cups (565ml) boiling water

60g/ 4 tbsp butter , unsalted

4 tbsp flour , plain / all purpose

1/2 tsp onion powder (ok to omit or sub garlic powder)

1/4 tsp finely ground black pepper

Salt , if needed

 

Instructions

  • Crumble cubes into boiling water, mix to dissolve.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add flour, onion powder and pepper. Mix into butter with a wooden spoon or whisk.
  • While stirring, slowly pour in half the liquid. Once incorporated into the flour butter roux (it will thicken quickly), add remaining liquid and mix.
  • Stir for 1.5 – 2 minutes until it thickens to a gravy consistency (it’s quick as water is already hot). Taste, add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve over chops, steak, sausages, veggies, roast chicken, beef, lamb.
