Jamie’s Stress-free Gravy


Christmas Eve is the perfect day to get
ahead of the game
and I’ve got a gorgeous foolproof gravy
recipe that you can make in advance so I
thought as it’s Christmas I’m gonna dig
into my archive and give you a reminder
of just how it’s done hey what’s going
on don’t get involved
hey okay this is an absolute winner and
must every Christmas roughly chop up 2
sticks of celery 2 carrots and 2 onions
I’m just going to take the worst of the
paper tipping it’s all going to go for a
simp Chuck in five or six sage leaves
for the most incredible fragrance and a
few torn-up bay leaves two rosemary and
two rashes of smoky bacon I’ll just give
it a little smokiness hidden in the
background and then the secret
ingredient chicken wings I’m using 14
for a big batch but eight will do just
chop into them with the heel of your
knife to max out that flavor and a
teaspoon of salt some pepper and 2
pieces of star anis roast us in an oven
for about an hour
sort of 200 degrees Celsius 400 degrees
bag and then I’m going to turn it into
the best best gravy ever doing this on
Christmas Eve means you’ve got
guaranteed maximum flavor and less
washing-up to do on Christmas Day this
is what it looks like after an hour look
you can see it’s all gone crispy I mean
this meat here is the sweetest most
lovely meat in my view in the whole bird
I’m just going to put this train out on
a high heat this will really boost up
the flavor of your gravy I want to end
up with two pints so four tablespoons of
regular flour to thicken it followed by
two liters of water
and then give this about 25 minutes to
simmer away of course you extract all of
that flavor and as you can see petal is
well into this give it a mash up every
now and again to extract all of the
beautiful flavor and then let us rejoice
a try of festive get ahead love what am
I talking about and obviously the one
thing to remember is when you put that
in the tray of all the turkey juices to
reheat it you’re gonna get the loads
more flavor again so it’s going to be
almost like a double gravy that’s
amazing yeah it’s like roast dinner in
itself who needs the rest of it SP pop
it in a cold garage or in the fridge and
the next day just bring it to the boil
and you’ve got the best gravy ever job
done no fuss have another snowball
better to be emotional that is back it’s
okay because you’re charged in gravy no
dang that’s ridiculous please this could
be the first bit of proper food she’s
had a look on camera damn it she’s only
human
