Special Gravy

[Tilly2]

Have a look at Nigel's gravy recipe on here. (The first recipe on the page)

I might give that a go, or give the job to one of my visitors.;-)

I love Nigel Slater and much of his cooking but that recipe really does look like a mountain out of a molehill at a hectic and stressful time for many.

Suggestions for getting ahead with your sauce gravy would have been better IMHO.

[Tilly2]

That's why I'd delegate it, Eccles. Does it really need onions and shallots?

[EcclesCake]

If I had both to hand then I'd go for it, if not with whatever I have. A recipe is a guideline, not a rule of law.

[Tilly2]

Thank you.

[EcclesCake]

You're welcome. It looks a lovely recipe, hope it meets your expectations.

[ummmm]

It looks really nice.

[Tilly2]

It does, Ummmm. Better that Bisto Turkey Gravy. :-)

[gness]

Oh I could knock that up in a heartbeat..... ;-)

[Tilly2]

Yes. Gness, you could. No oven needed.

[Tilly2]

I also like the look of the 'parsnip mash and roast brussels with honey'.

[seekeerz]

Best thing about gravy is ....you can make it in advance, freeze and then no frantic stirring while trying to dish up everything else !

[ummmm]

I'll probably be having over cooked food. FIL views any veg with a bit of bite as raw. I don't care though...all I do is the dishes (some of the dishes, they have a dish washer)

[sherrardk]

I can't make gravy, I'll buy some from Waitrose :)

[pastafreak]

I'd make it ahead of time...and anything with onions and shallots gets my vote.
Parsnip mash/puree is to die for...that reminds me that I've not made it in a while.

[Tilly2]

Is it worth a try then, Pasta?

[Tilly2]

We are going out on Christmas Day so none of these will be needed but there's always the days between Christmas and New Year. Perhaps on New Year's Day, itself, I will push the boat out.

[gness]

Hey, Sherr!!!! You've come back for a gravy thread????...Nice to see you though....x

[Tilly2]

Tonyav won't be joining this thread. ;-)

[Tilly2]

Welcome back, Sherr. I didn't see you there. Well spotted, Gness.

I popped on here as a diversion from watching depressing Eastenders.
