Nicholas' Secret of Life: Red Wine Gravy

 

 

Ingredients

• All the juices in the bottom of the Thanksgiving bird baking tray
• 1 tablespoon white flour
• reeeeeeed wiiiiiiiiiiine!
• water
• salt
• pepper

 

Preparation

Decant the juices into a small container and let it settle so that oil and fat rises to top. Spoon off as much of the oil as you can. Pour remainder into a small pot over medium heat. Add generous amounts of wine with a fluid wrist. Add 1 tablespoon white flour and stir with wooden spoon or whisk and stir continuously to eliminate lumps. Let simmer while flour thickens the gravy. Dilute with more wine and/or add more flour until desired consistency achieved. Serve!


First time Nicholas made this for me was on: Saturday, October 12, 2013 celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving after a 2 hour Scrubs and canal walk.
