Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup pork drippings
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pork drippings and unsalted butter until the butter is fully melted.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the almond flour, mixing thoroughly to form a roux with the fat and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and lightly golden.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, a little at a time, ensuring the roux is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
Bring the mixture to a simmer while continuously stirring until the gravy begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Lower the heat and add the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Allow the gravy to cook for another 3-5 minutes until it has thickened to the desired consistency.
Season with salt, ground black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Remove from heat and let the gravy sit for a minute before giving it a final stir and serving hot.
