Was ist Gravy?
Gravy is a savory sauce typically made from the juices that run off meat or vegetables during cooking. These pan drippings are often combined with a thickening agent like flour or cornstarch, along with broth or other liquids, to create a rich and flavorful accompaniment. It's a staple in many cuisines, particularly with roasted meats and potatoes.
"The secret to an exceptional gravy often lies in deglazing the pan thoroughly to capture all the caramelized bits of flavor."
