Ingredients
Scale
Gluten-Free Gravy
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil (1½ ounces; 42 grams)
- 3 tablespoons sweet rice flour or white rice flour (¾ ounce; 21 grams)
- 2 cups warm turkey, chicken, beef, or vegetable broth (16 ounces; 453 grams)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon gluten-free soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Melt the butter or heat oil: In a small pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat or heat the olive oil until it shimmers but does not smoke.
- Add the flour: Add the sweet rice flour and whisk continuously until a paste forms. Keep whisking for about 3 minutes until the mixture turns light beige.
- Incorporate the broth: Slowly whisk in the warm broth in a steady stream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
- Cook and thicken: Continue cooking while whisking until the gravy thickens and starts to bubble. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season the gravy: Stir in gluten-free soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve and store: Serve the gravy warm with your meal. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Notes
- This gluten-free gravy is quick and easy with minimal ingredients, making it perfect for last-minute meal prep or holiday feasts.
- Using warm broth helps prevent lumps when combining with the flour paste.
- You can substitute sweet rice flour with white rice flour if preferred.
- Adjust the consistency by adding more broth if the gravy becomes too thick.
- For a richer taste, use homemade or high-quality broth.
- Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently on the stovetop.
