The traditional roast dinner is one of our favourite meals. You can’t beat it.  Especially when it has delicious hot gravy poured over the top.  Do you know how to make real gravy?

1.      After cooking the meat pour the juices and fat from the roasting tin into a separate tin that will go on the hob. Or you can use the roasting tin when you have removed the meat.  You will need a few tablespoons of the juices. 

2.      Heat this gently until it is bubbling. 

3.      Next using a wooden spoon stir in 1 tablespoon of plain flour for each 225ml liquid that you will use. Cook the flour and stir for 1 minute,

4.      Be careful not to let the mixture burn.

5.      Gradually add stock or water and keep stirring to avoid getting lumps.

6.      Finally season to taste, then strain and serve hot.
