Fat-Free Gravy from Healthy Diabetic Recipes

Fat-Free Gravy Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup Broth & defatted drippings
2 tsp All purpose flour
1 tsp Cornstarch
1 tsp Ketchup
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Freshly ground pepper
1 pinch Basil (beef) or sage (chick)

Recipe Instructions:

A waist-watcher gravy - quite thin. Serve over meat or potatoes.

Cook up bones as for soup, strain liquid. Refrigerate overnight or
until white fat on top can be removed with a spoon. Refrigerate meat
drippings from the pan and skim off the fat.

Combine broth, flour and cornstarch in a screw-top jar, cover and
shake until well combined or use a blender for a larger batch. Pour
into saucepan, stir in ketchup, salt, pepper and basil for beef (or
sage for turkey, or other herb of your choice). Stir-cook over
medium heat until gravy thickens. (Mine didn't thicken but I had
some lumps of flour or cornstarch.) Makes about 1 cup.

“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?”

~ Denis Diderot (1713-1784) L'Encyclopedie (1751-1772)
