Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h55m

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 large red onion, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 large garlic cloves, peeled and halved
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups good chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 tablespoons Cognac or brandy
10 large fresh sage leaves
2 bay leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute, stirring often, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the onion becomes browned and starts to caramelize. Sprinkle on the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in the chicken stock, Cognac, sage leaves, bay leaves, 2 teaspoons salt (depending on the saltiness of the chicken stock), and 1 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour and strain, pressing the solids lightly and then discarding them. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • After the turkey is cooked, remove it to a carving board to rest while you finish the gravy. Place the roasting pan on the stovetop over medium heat and add the wine. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring and scraping up all the bits clinging to the bottom of the pan. Slowly whisk the gravy base into the pan. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the gravy is smooth and slightly thickened. Taste for seasonings and serve hot.

INA GARTEN'S HOMEMADE GRAVY



Ina Garten's Homemade Gravy image

So last night I baked some pork chops for dinner. I decided this was the perfect opportunity for trying out the Barefoot Contessa's Homemade Gravy recipe. It was delicious...fattening, but delicious. Now, I comfort myself with the idea that we had baked pork chops, dry bread, green beans and instant potatoes (I should be ashamed, I suppose) so the gravy was my one indulgence. It was worth it.

CARAMELIZED ONIONS (INA GARTEN BAREFOOT CONTESSA)



Caramelized Onions (Ina Garten Barefoot Contessa) image

I've made this recipe twice and enjoyed them both times. The thyme gives the onions a special flavor. I have not tried it with fresh thyme yet, only dried. I used Vidalia onions when they were in season and sliced them very thin using a mandolin. Ina recommends using a good quality olive oil, of course.

Categories     Onions

Time 47m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 lbs yellow onions, peeled and sliced in half-rounds
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leave
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large shallow pot, add onions and thyme and toss with the oil.
  • Place the lid on top and cook over medium low heat for about 10 minutes to sweat the onions. Remove the lid and continue to cook over medium low heat, stirring occasionally for 25 to 30 minutes, until t he onions are caramlized and golden brown. This could take much longer than 30 minutes, if your stove top is on a very low setting. If the onions are cooking too fast, lower the heat. Don't rush the process. It is worth the wait.
  • Add the sherry wine vinegar, salt and pepper and cook for 2 more minutes, scraping the brown bits from the pan. Season to taste. They should be highly seasoned.

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful stock. The stock is the base of your gravy, so make sure it's packed with flavor. Use a homemade stock if you can, or a good-quality store-bought stock.
  • Brown your meat or vegetables. Browning your meat or vegetables will add depth of flavor to your gravy. Be sure to brown them well, but don't burn them.
  • Deglaze your pan. After you've browned your meat or vegetables, deglaze the pan with a little bit of wine, broth, or water. This will help to loosen any browned bits and add even more flavor to your gravy.
  • Use a roux or slurry. A roux or slurry will help to thicken your gravy and give it a smooth consistency. A roux is made with equal parts butter and flour, while a slurry is made with cornstarch and water.
  • Season your gravy to taste. Once your gravy is thickened, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Let your gravy simmer. Simmering your gravy for a few minutes will help to develop its flavor and thicken it even more.

Conclusion:

Making homemade gravy is a great way to add flavor and richness to your dishes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious gravy that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're making a roast, stew, or other dish that calls for gravy, be sure to try one of these recipes.
