Instructions
Making Giblet Gravy can be straightforward if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare the Giblets: Rinse giblets under cold water. Place in a small pot, cover with water, and simmer for about 30 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
3. Sauté Vegetables: Add chopped onion, celery, and carrot to the pan. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Incorporate Flour: Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
5. Add Stock Gradually: Slowly pour in the chicken or turkey stock, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continuously stir until the mixture thickens.
6. Chop Giblets: Finely chop the cooked giblets and stir them into the gravy.
7. Season: Add salt, pepper, thyme, and sage. Stir and let simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes to blend flavors.
8. Serve Warm: Pour the Giblet Gravy into a serving dish or over your main course to enjoy.
Each step ensures a savory gravy that’s full of flavor and distinctly comforting.
