Receta Everything Gravy!
Everything Gravy!
This recipe is a simple and easy way to spruce up a meal in just a short moment while adding a bountiful flavor profile and lots of color and nutrients. The sauce includes bright, beta-carotene and fiber rich carrots, while the onion adds essential flavanoids, the mushrooms, B vitamins, protein and magnesium, and the potatoes contribute potassium, fiber and more B vitamins still. This recipe can be used to smother savory beef burgers, (which is what I did) chicken burgers or even turkey patties. Boneless, skinless chicken and boneless or bone-in pork chops will work well too. The possibilities are virtually endless. Vegetarians can use this sauce to smother rice, egg noodles or couscous, even quinoa for a hearty filling meal. Further still, this sauce can be diluted with chicken broth or more milk and served as a soup with crackers or whole grain bread. There's no wrong way and the taste is a warm, gratifying one. The moniker concludes that this recipe can complement anything, hence the name, not to mention what you may come up with in your own kitchen. This recipe is not really a gravy since that would entail a deglazing and browning of flour and bits from the bottom of a pan, but it smothers like a gravy, so gravy it is! I hope you have just as much fun with this quick fix recipe as I did!
