GRAVY FOR BEEF, PORK, CHICKEN OR TURKEY

Steps:

• Variations: Add fresh sliced mushrooms, or onions, or hot pepper flakes, or any special spice to create a foreign flavor such as cummin or curry.
• This is a basic recipe to making gravy for any type of oven-roasted meat.
• In a small bowl, add water and flour, stirring to get out all lumps.
• Remove meat from the roasting pan leaving all the liquid and dried bits.
• On the stovetop, over a low heat, add water to pan drippings, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, dissolving all the flavors from the bottom of the pan.
• As the liquid thickens, add salt, pepper, and spices, including the gravy master.
• If gravy is too thick, add more water, a little at a time while stirring.
• Stop at the desired thickness.
• Remove from the heat.
• Pour gravy through a strainer to remove any lumps, debris that did not dissolve.
• Fill your favorite gravy boat and serve!
• *If gravy is too thin, add 1 teaspoons of flour at a time (again, diluted in 1/4 cup of cold water) until the desired thickness is achieved.
• Amount will depend on how much liquid is in your roasting pan after meat has cooked.
• By adding more water and adjusting the flavorings, you could s-t-r-e-t-c-h this recipe to accommodate the servings required, but be careful not to lose the richness of the meat flavor.

UNBELIEVABLY PRIMO PORK CHOPS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• In a pot, warm the chicken broth (or chicken stock concentrate plus the 3 cups water) over medium heat.
• Heat the oil on high. Trim the chops of excess fat and season with pepper.
• Sear the pork chops in the (very) hot pan. Noisy work... a spatter guard helps here! Sear the chops on all sides including the edges (hold them with tongs edge-side-down). Put them on a plate, cover with foil and set aside.
• Deglaze the pan with the vermouth or wine. Add the chicken stock from the pot, completing the deglazing. Now pour everything from the pan back into the pot. (Confused yet?).
• Put the chops in the pot, reserving the foil that covered them. Check if the fluid level is high enough in the pot; it should be about 1/4 inch or less below the tops of the chops, but the chops should not be covered by the chicken stock.
• Cover pot with lid. Let simmer on medium-low for 20 minutes. Flip the chops over and let simmer for another 20 minutes, checking every now and then to assure there's enough fluid left in the pot. If not, add a little more chicken stock.
• Take the chops out of the pot and cover again with reserved foil. In a small bowl, mix the teaspoon of flour with a tablespoon of water until well-blended and whisk into the stock to thicken. Turn the heat to high and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the stock/gravy reduces slightly and thickens. This may take several minutes.
• Plate the chops with mashed potatoes and introduce them both to that lucious gravy!

CHICKEN FRIED PORK WITH MILK GRAVY

Steps:

• Pound pork chops on both sides with rough-textured side of meat pounder until 1/4 inch thick.
• Season with salt and pepper and cut into 3-inch pieces.
• Whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish.
• Whisk together egg, 3/4 cup milk, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper in another shallow dish.
• Dip pork pieces in egg mixture to coat, then dredge in flour.
• Transfer pork as coated to a large rack set on a baking sheet.
• Let pork stand, uncovered, at room temperature 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Heat oil in a deep 10-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over high heat until thermometer registers 375°F (see cooks' note, below).
• Fry pork in batches, turning over once, until golden, about 4 minutes per batch, transferring to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 375°F between batches.
• Keep pork warm on a clean baking sheet in oven.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil into a heatproof bowl, leaving any brown bits in bottom of skillet, then add remaining 3 tablespoons flour to skillet and cook roux over moderate heat, stirring constantly, 3 minutes.
• Bring to a boil and whisk in remaining 2 1/2 cups milk.
• Reduce heat and simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Season gravy with salt and pepper (to taste) and serve over pork.
• ** Note:.
• To take the temperature of a shallow amount of oil with a metal flat-framed deep-fat thermometer, put bulb of thermometer facedown in skillet, resting other end (not plastic handle) on rim of skillet. Check temperature frequently.
• Makes 4 servings.

GRANDMA CHICKEN (CHICKEN AND GRAVY)

Steps:

• Combine flour and pepper in a ziplock bag.
• Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and add to flour mixture.
• After all chicken is in the bag, close bag and shake to coat chicken pieces.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium low heat.
• Slowly brown both sides of chicken in the melted butter. Note: If your skillet isn't large enough, you can do this in batches, it may require additional butter.
• Remove chicken and set aside in a baking dish.
• Cook onion in same pan until soft (if using onion powder, skip this step).
• Add a small amount (approximately 2-3 tablespoons) of the flour/pepper mixture to the water.
• Mix well.
• Pour water and flour mixture slowly into the pan.
• Add chicken broth and thyme (if using onion powder, add it now) and bring to a simmer. Stir often to make a thickish gravy.
• Return browned chicken pieces to the pan.
• Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring periodically.
• Transfer chicken and gravy into baking dish. I use a 2.8 liter Corning Ware dish, but a 9x13 dish will work as well.
• Cover and bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
• Note: This dish freezes beautifully. After cooking for the first 30 minutes, cool, place in a freezer bag. When you are ready to cook, defrost and cook, covered at 375 for 45-60 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
