MOM'S CHOCOLATE GRAVY



Mom's Chocolate Gravy image

When Mom and Pop got married, Pop had to call Mamaw to get this recipe. When he was growing up, they were really poor (Papaw was a Baptist preacher and worked at various jobs. Back then life was hard for a preacher with 4 kids). This was one of their "desserts". Mom also made this when we were growing up and to this day, I still love a big hot heapin helpin. One might ask how do you eat "chocolate gravy"? With homemade "cat-head" biscuits (Mamaw called them this because she made them "big as a cat's head") or canned country-style (Do not try this with one of those flaky-type canned biscuits - it just isn't the same.) and a chunk of butter about the size of the tip of your thumb. Let it kinda melt, then eat away. This is just like any other gravy, other than the addition of the butter at the table. I eat this with milk or coffee as the beverage, as nothing else tastes good. This is Redneck comfort food at its finest! **Times and yield are approximate. Please z-mail me with what you come up with.**

HOW TO MAKE COUNTRY GRAVY



How to Make Country Gravy image

This is a beautiful example of classic, very old-school American country cooking. There are a lot of variations, and this is my favorite. This goes on fried chicken, country-fried steak, and biscuits.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Gravy Recipes     Pork Gravy

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces breakfast sausage links, casings removed and meat broken up
4 strips bacon, sliced crosswise
½ cup chopped green onions (light parts only)
⅓ cup packed all-purpose flour
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 ½ cups cold milk
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
1 pinch cayenne pepper for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat; cook sausage and bacon in the hot butter, stirring to break the sausage up into small pieces, until sausage is browned and bacon is almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Mix 1/2 cup green onion into sausage mixture and saute until onions are soft, about 3 more minutes.
  • Stir flour into meat mixture, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until thoroughly combined and mixture is pasty. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes to remove raw taste of flour.

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Dinner

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 oz cube steak, 4 steaks, 8 oz (225 g) each
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
2 large eggs
2 ¾ cups whole milk, divided
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided, plus 3 tablespoons
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 225˚F (110˚C).
  • Set a steak in the center of a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the steak evenly to ¼-inch (½ cm) thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Repeat with the remaining meat.
  • In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and 1 cup (240 ml) of milk. In a separate shallow dish, mix together the 1 ½ cups (190 g) of flour, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, letting any excess egg drip off. Coat again in the flour mixture. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, until the coating has dried out a bit.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a 10-inch (25.5 cm) pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Fry the steaks, 2 at a time, for 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes more, until golden brown and cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 155˚-165˚F (170˚-175˚C). Transfer the steaks to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet and immediately season with salt. Once all of the steaks are done frying, transfer to the oven while you prepare the gravy.
  • Pour the hot oil into a heatproof bowl and let cool before discarding. 9. Leave any browned bits in the pan.
  • In the same pan, without wiping it out, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour, whisking to incorporate. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the roux is a light brown color. Add the heavy cream and remaining milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the gravy over the steaks and serve with your favorite side dishes.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

- For a richer gravy, use heavy cream instead of milk. - To make the gravy ahead of time, prepare it up to the point of adding the chocolate. Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Then, add the chocolate and stir until melted. - Serve the gravy over your favorite breakfast foods, such as pancakes, waffles, biscuits, or French toast. You can also use it as a topping for ice cream or fruit. - For a fun twist, try adding a tablespoon of peanut butter to the gravy. - If you don't have any unsweetened cocoa powder on hand, you can use regular cocoa powder instead. Just be sure to reduce the amount of sugar you add to the gravy.

Conclusion:

Country chocolate gravy is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy chocolate, give country chocolate gravy a try!
