How to Make Brown Gravy from Scratch:

(did you know you can not buy gravies of all types in jars, they are very good and can be found usually on the canned soup isle)

Answer 2

No self respecting cook or chef uses gravy browning, you use the juices from the roasted meat or chicken and stir in some cornflour mixed with chicken or beef stock, bring it to the boil while stirring all the time, it makes super gravy.It is even better if you roast the joint or chicken on a bed of vegetables ie finely sliced leeks, onions, courgettes, and a bit of garlic, the gravy is unbelievable.

Answer 3

why don't you make gravy without it?? just make a roux and let it brown then finish making the gravy. ..leave some pan dripping and crusty stuff (called fond) in the pan, add the same amount of flour as pan drippings, stir and brown until it is as brown as you like then add either very hot water, stock, or milk and stir until the liquid is integrated with the roux and there are no lumps, make it a little thin as it will cook down..add pepper and salt- taste it carefully (as it is hot!) and probably add more salt. when it gets to the consistency you like then shut off and remove from heat.

Answer 4

Go into a butcher and ask for a bag of beef bones to make your own. Roast the bones until they are nearly black with plenty of sliced onions. Then pour boiling water or better still plenty of vegetable stock on them and simmer for a couple of hours. Add salt and pepper now then strain off liquid and simmer until it is reduced by nearly a half. What you have left will make the most delicious gravy ever!

Answer 5

You must be able to find it in your supermarket. I don't know where exactly since I have never bought it - I don't eat gravy at university, and if I wanted to I would use some Worcestershire sauce to colour it anyway.

Answer 6

To give gravy a nice brown colour and add to the flavour, just mix a tablespoon or so of instant coffee into a little hot water and stir it in. It does an excellent job!

Answer 7

Go to Tescos..they stock Comptons gravy salt.....same as gravy browning...the co-op also stock their own brand and this keeps very well without going hard

Answer 8

Do you mean that little bottle of browning stuff? I don't use it, but my mom, and her mother, and relatives ad infinitum do.

Anyway, that little triangular bottle - whatever the stuff is called, I forget, is typically either going to be in the spice section, or it's going to be where the canned/bottled sauces/gravies are.

Answer 9

You can try brown gravy mix made by mccormick. Its on the seasoning isle and it works really well.

Answer 10

when my gravy is tasty but pale i add a few drops of PARISIAN browning essence. it has no taste, just colour.
