The nature of a person laid down the desire for tasty andappetizing eat. There are two options: either we go to the store for tasty things, or we try to cook something on our own. I think we should not say that today there is a great variety of dishes, and that they will not be able to try them in one day. Do you know how to make gravy? If not, then be sure to use my simple tips.
What is gravy and what is it eaten with
Gravy is a type of sauce,although I do not quite like this definition. Still, gravy is something more than a sauce. Most often, it is prepared from the juice, which remains after frying or stewing meat. Juice is drained, add pieces of meat and some flour to thicken. But I want to talk about how to make a delicious sauce from scratch, i.e. without the use of meat juice. Actually, see for yourself.
How to make a sauce in a hurry
In my family, gravy is loved. I usually serve it with pasta, but it's like someone like it. I know those who love gravy with mashed potatoes, buckwheat, pancakes. So, prepare the sauce so.
Take pork or beef, cut it intoPieces and place in a frying pan. I always take meat by sight, hoping that the gravy will turn out to be fleshy. While the meat is fried, I cut onion into half rings, rub the carrot on a grater. At first I add carrots to meat, having slightly fried them, I also send onions to it. I keep frying until the vegetables are soft. Then I put the mass in a saucepan, pour boiling water on it and boil it over low heat, adding salt and seasoning to taste. As soon as the meat is ready, I begin to add the next mass. In a bowl, mix a small amount of sour cream, ketchup (tomato sauce) and flour. Add some water so that the flour is well stirred without the formation of lumps. Gradually, I put the mass in the pan, stirring constantly. I continue to cook and watch that the gravy thickens. If this does not happen, then you have added little flour. Pour some more flour into the plate, dilute with water and pour into the gravy. Now everything should work out. One last thing: I always add a clove of garlic, pre-crushed, in this dish. It gives the sauce a special flavor.
How to make gravy from mushrooms
We will need thirty grams of dried mushrooms, two to three tablespoons of table flour and vegetable oil, as well as salt, onion and pepper to taste.
So, how to cook delicious gravy of mushrooms.Very simple. Rinse the dried mushrooms thoroughly and cover with water for five hours to soak them thoroughly. If you are running out of time, then you can do something tricky: soak the mushrooms in boiled water. Although it is highly undesirable. Please note that the mushrooms after soaking should be transferred to another plate, and then pour them with infusion, which should be in order to get rid of the sand strain through several layers of gauze. We put the infusion with mushrooms on the fire and start cooking (make the fire small).
Rinse the boiled mushrooms with warm water and thenfinely chop. Fry the onions in the pan. Prepare a flour dressing. To do this, mix it with vegetable oil in the amount indicated just above. Cool the gas station, then pour the mushroom broth into it and dilute it. Boil, periodically removing the foam. Add the chopped mushrooms and onions to the sauce, add salt and black pepper to taste and cook for another ten minutes. This sauce will be even more tasty if you add a little sour cream.
Well, now you know how to make gravy,so at any time you can submit it to the family table. Do not forget that if after frying or stewing the meat you still have juice, do not rush to pour it. Better to do a little and prepare the sauce, which is also not in vain.
