Gravy
During this time of year I make gravy on a weekly basis. When the cold, damp weather sets in, rich, warm, gravy makes for a delicious comfort food smothered over roasted chicken or turkey.
4 cups chicken stock
poultry gizzards (optional)
2 medium onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced
pan drippings
1 tablespoon kudzu
½ teaspoon celtic sea salt
- In a medium saucepan bring stock, gizzards, onions and garlic to a boil
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until onions are soft
- Add drippings from roasting pan, simmer 5 minutes
- Strain out solids and transfer broth, onion and garlic to blender; dispose of gizzards
- Puree on low, then work up to high speed, blending until mixture is smooth
- Transfer mixture to a skillet and reheat gravy until boiling
- Meanwhile, in a small dish, mix kudzu with ¼ cup water, stirring until completely dissolved
- Stir kudzu into gravy until thoroughly combined and gravy begins to thicken, reduce heat
- Simmer gravy and reduce to desired thickness, anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes; add salt
- Serve
Serves 8
This simple gluten-free gravy turns a mere meal into a Thanksgiving feast.

i have a quick question, if you can't find kudzu at the store, could you use arrowroot instead?
thank you for this site, i recently became gluten intolerant and it has not been easy for me, but thanks to you this new eating path has been made so much easier!
thank you and happy holidays!

You are welcome and I'm glad you found us over here!
I often use kudzu and arrowroot interchangeably in recipes and have not found it to be a problem.
