Making gravy cannot be called a very complicated process, but the taste of the sauce can vary greatly depending on the recipe and the level of culinary skills of the hostess.
Therefore, it is worth knowing universal tricks that will help you prepare a tasty and high-quality gravy.
What culinary secrets are worth knowing?
Choose tomato paste wisely
Don't buy the first option you come across: the quality of the sauce will largely determine the taste of the gravy itself. Tomato paste should be natural and moderately thick.
Water or broth
If you are making gravy with water, you cannot do without starch or flour, because the gravy must have a specific consistency. The same rule applies to vegetable broth.
However, when using meat broth, the gravy will be thick even without additional ingredients.
You can also try using water left over from boiling beans or potatoes.
Don't make extra sauce.
It is worth noting a very important factor that not everyone takes into account: it is recommended to prepare the gravy at one time and serve it immediately to the table without additional waiting.
Otherwise, the texture of the sauce may not be the most pleasant.
