Ingredients
make-ahead Madeira gravy Method
Step: 1 Take a wide saucepan and heat the butter over medium heat. Frizzle the onion, carrots, bay leaves, and thyme in the pan for about 15 minutes till the veg starts to brown. Disperse over the sugar and continue to cook for the next few minutes till sticky and caramelized. Keep stirring in the flour until sandy. Cook for one minute, and then to make a sticky paste add the yeast extract, tomato purée, vinegar, and soy sauce. Spill over the Madeira and bubble for a minute.
Step: 2 Now add the stock, and then with the help of a potato masher crush the veg. Let bubble everything together for about 10 minutes till it becomes a thickened sauce that fairly coats the back of a spoon. Sieve and use right away as a veggie gravy or as the base to a turkey gravy.(this can be cooled, and then frozen for up to 3 months).
