Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons fat of choice bacon fat, ghee, butter, coconut oil or schmaltz are my favorites
  • 3 Tablespoons tapioca flour or for Gluten-free & VAD, use white rice flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and up to 1/4 teaspoon more, to taste (at the end, if needed) (I use this salt at the end, as the finishing salt, for the best flavor.)
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried sage* use dried rosemary, powdered, for VAD
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme* omit for VAD
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary powder* increase to ½ teaspoon for VAD
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger powder* or for non-AIP/VAD, white pepper, to taste, up to 1/8 teaspoon (or more, to taste)
  • 2-1/2 cups Bone Broth or Meat Stock (see recipe links) -- You may need more or less salt to "finish" the gravy, based on how salty and flavorful your original broth or stock is. Use homemade broth or stock (see links) for the best results.
  • 1 Tablespoon coconut aminos

Instructions

  • Combine over medium heat fat and flour, whisking to combine until the fat melts and the mixture simmers.
    roux process
  • Stir in salt and herbs, and simmer about 1 minute. Whisk in broth, and whisking occasionally, bring to a simmer again, at which point the gravy will instantly thicken. Continue to simmer steadily about 3 minutes, stirring or whisking occasionally. Reduce heat as needed so it doesn't simmer too fast.
  • Remove from heat, and whisk in coconut aminos. Taste for salt, and serve. Keep warm if you don't want it to thicken or cool too much.

Notes

For non-AIP/VAD, to make this recipe just 5 ingredients

If you need this recipe extra fast and don't want to measure the separate herbs and spices, use 2 teaspoons organic herbal Poultry Seasoning in place of the separate herbs & ginger/pepper.
