What can you add to the gravy to make it thicker: not just flour
16.01.2024 22:15
To make the gravy the right color and consistency, flour is used.
But you can do without it.
For example, if you simply run out of flour, you can add mustard to the gravy to achieve the desired thickness.
Gravy decorates boring dishes, adds flavor, juiciness and tenderness if you stew meat or semi-finished products in it.
With gravy, even the leanest porridge looks more cheerful and appetizing.
Why is flour added?
Flour can be fried. This will determine the colour of the gravy. The more flour, the thicker the sauce.
Alternative options may be required if you run out of flour and the gravy is too runny or is ready but not thick enough.
In such a situation, mustard powder will help out. The dish will only benefit from it.
You can make a regular sauce brighter and more piquant in taste.
Along with this, the color of the gravy will also change – it will become brighter.
As for the most important point – consistency, in this regard mustard will not let you down and will make a liquid sauce thicker.
How to proceed
Simply add a couple of teaspoons of mustard to the prepared or cooking sauce and stir.
If you don’t like spicy dishes, you can use Dijon mustard.
