Why Do We Make Gravy?

When you’re preparing ham for a holiday meal, you want a flavorful sauce to make your holiday dinner special. Not only that, but you want the gravy to have a rich, decadent taste. Here’s how to make a ham gravy. Take a thin slice of ham, and place it in a small saucepan. You can make this dish even tastier by adding a little brown sugar. Then pour in a small amount of water to create a thin sauce. Cook the ham for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce is thick enough. It’s also a good idea to cook your ham at a medium heat so that the ham stays moist, and don’t overcook it, or it will become dry.

The Essence of Game Meat

The average person only consumes about 15% of their meat supply each week, compared to those who eat meat 7 days a week. The solution to eating more meat is to prepare it better.

What You Need to Make Gravy

Gravy is one of those things that can be done in a number of ways. It can be made by simmering a browned mixture of meat and gravy-stuffing into a rich sauce. Another way to make gravy is by deglazing a pan or roasting pan with wine or stock, cooking the liquid until it reduces, then returning the pan to the stovetop to thicken the liquid with flour and seasonings. A third way to make gravy is to brown meat or poultry in a large pan and then simmer the meat or poultry with white wine, stock, and seasonings until the sauce reduces to a rich, slightly thickened gravy.

Homemade Gravy Recipe

This simple gravy recipe is the perfect way to jazz up your next holiday ham. Bring the elements of this recipe together in a pot on the stove or in the oven to make it super easy. First, you’ll want to brown your ham, and then you’ll be ready to make the gravy. In a medium saucepan, add the vegetable oil and onion. Saute until the onion becomes transparent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ham, bell pepper, and garlic and saute for an additional 5 minutes. Add the broth, potatoes, tomatoes, thyme and bay leaves. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 30-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Allow to cool slightly before serving. If you’d like, you can thicken the gravy. You’ll want to reduce the liquid and the gravy to about ¼ cup. Combine the flour and ½ cup of water in a small bowl. Whisk together and then slowly add the flour mixture into the pot. Cook over medium heat until the gravy thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley. The gravy can be made up to 1-2 days ahead and kept in the refrigerator.
