Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup low sodium beef broth
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted, gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour. Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, for about 5 to 7 minutes until it turns a light golden brown. This is your roux.
Slowly pour in the low sodium chicken broth and low sodium beef broth into the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and dried thyme to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the gravy to a simmer, cooking for about 5 to 7 minutes until the gravy thickens. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the gravy has reached your desired thickness, remove from the heat.
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasonings if necessary, keeping in mind the low sodium goal.
Serve the gravy hot over mashed potatoes, chicken, or other dishes of your choice.
