0

If you want to make a thick gravy for porridge, potatoes or pasta, but without flour, then you should try other options.

Interesting fact: one of the secrets of thick gravy is adding products that naturally contain starch or gelatin. For example, vegetables and starchy foods can easily make gravy richer.

Ingredients for a thick, flour-free gravy:

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch or potato starch
• 2 cups broth (meat or vegetable)
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
• 2-3 cloves garlic (to taste)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Start by heating the broth over low heat. Add finely chopped garlic to give the gravy flavor. Cook for a few minutes.

Dissolve the cornstarch or potato starch in a small amount of cold water to avoid lumps. Slowly add this mixture to the broth, stirring constantly.

Continue to cook the gravy, stirring constantly, until it thickens to the desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.

What foods will thicken the gravy?

Oil or butter.Add a tablespoon of butter for a rich flavor and silky texture.

Vegetables as a thickener. Add vegetables, such as sautéed carrots or onions, which will naturally thicken the gravy as it cooks.

Cream or sour cream.If you want a creamier texture, add cream or sour cream at the very end of cooking.
