However, it’s not hard to do. In a large stock or saucepan large enough to hold the carcass and all the vegetables, place the carcass, onion, carrot, celery, garlic, tarragon, parsley, and bay leaf. Cover with cold water and bring to a gentle, rolling boil. If the water starts to boil away, add more because the ingredients must be covered in water. Strain the stock through a large colander, discarding the solids.

Return the liquid to the pan. Bring back to a boil and reduce by approximately a quarter. Allow the liquid to cool down, then refrigerate for 1 hour. Skim any fat from the surface.

Then add the egg whites and whisk thoroughly. Bring the liquid to a boil, whisking all the time. If you want a darker consommé, then add the optional Kitchen Bouquet. Simmer gently, without stirring, for 15 minutes until the egg whites form a crust on the surface, called a “raft.

Honestly, I’m a way better person when I’m not hungry. Vegan Friendly rolls are probably one of the best one I’ve ever had. Finger food at get togethers is a must! Such a crowd pleaser even my meat loving husband asked for more!

There are a few tricks to making a great gravy. If you can, always use the delicious pan juices from your roast, and homemade stock will almost always be tastier than store-bought stock. Place the roasting pan with the pan juices on the stovetop over high heat until the meat juices begin to bubble, taking care not to burn the juice as it bubbles up quickly. Pour in the red wine and scrape all the bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Allow this mixture to bubble until it is reduced to a sticky, concentrated glaze. Do not leave the pan unattended, as the reduction happens very quickly and can quickly burn. Add the stock to the sauce and stir thoroughly to incorporate the stock into the reduced glaze. Once it is fully mixed, strain the gravy through a fine sieve into a saucepan. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat and reduce it by one-third. Once the gravy is reduced, add the butter in tiny pieces, shaking the pan gently until all the butter is melted and fully incorporated into the sauce.

Adding the ice-cold butter not only adds flavor and richness, but it also gives the gravy a glossy shine. Add these juices to the gravy and give it another quick boil. Keep the gravy warm until needed, then strain into a gravy boat or bowl and serve. Leftover gravy can also be frozen. Defrost it in the refrigerator and then gently rewarm it. Serve the leftover gravy with any leftover meat or give it a new life as a dressing for tasty sandwiches or a decadent topping to homemade steak fries. Pour away any excess fat from the meat juices before beginning this recipe.
