Ghee Gravy Recipes

GHEE

Steps:

• Place butter in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring butter to boil. This takes approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. The butter will form a foam which will disappear. Ghee is done when a second foam forms on top of butter, and the butter turns golden. Approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Brown milk solids will be in bottom of pan. Gently pour into heatproof container through fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Store in airtight container being sure to keep free from moisture. Ghee does not need refrigeration and will keep in airtight container for up to 1 month.

THE BEST GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and turkey neck and giblets; cook, stirring, until browned, about 15 minutes. Add the broth, herb sprigs and bay leaf; cover and simmer about 2 hours (do this while the turkey roasts).
• Once your turkey is done, transfer it to a cutting board to rest and pour the pan drippings into a large fat separator cup. Strain the broth; save the giblets for chunky gravy, if desired.
• Put the roasting pan on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of the broth to the pan and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Transfer the liquid and bits to the fat separator.
• The fat will rise to the top of the degreasing cup. Spoon off 1/2 cup fat and transfer to a saucepan. (If you don't have enough turkey fat, add butter to measure 1/2 cup total.) Scatter in the flour and whisk to incorporate. Cook over medium heat, stirring in a figure-eight motion with a wooden spoon, until the flour mixture browns slightly, about 4 minutes.
• Gradually ladle the hot broth into the flour mixture, whisking constantly (this is key, or your gravy will be lumpy). Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat so the gravy simmers gently.
• Add the remaining turkey drippings to the gravy, leaving any extra fat behind in the fat separator. Simmer, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce and season with salt and pepper.

GHEE GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat ghee in a medium saucepan over medium until just beginning to bubble. Sprinkle in flour and whisk until no lumps remain. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, until a light yellow roux forms, 2-3 minutes.
• While whisking, add stock in a slow, steady stream. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook, whisking occasionally, until reduced to 3 cups, 15-20 minutes. Whisk in salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

GHEE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a small, sturdy pan and cook over a low heat without stirring for 15-20 mins, or until the milk solids start to brown and the butter is golden. Turn the heat off and leave the pan undisturbed for a few minutes.
• Line a metal sieve with muslin or strong kitchen paper, and place over a heatproof bowl. Pour in the melted butter, taking care to leave the browned milk solids in the pan. Leave for a few minutes to drip into the bowl, then transfer to a jar. Because ghee has no moisture or milk solids, it will keep for up to three months at room temperature, but can also be stored in the fridge for extra longevity.

BASIC GHEE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. When the butter is completely melted and there is white foam on top, increase the heat to medium low.
• As the butter simmers, the white foam will start to crackle. Skim off as much of the solids as possible. Continue to skim occasionally; the butter should simmer until the foam subsides, about 15 minutes. Start to stir with a wooden spoon; foam will begin to rise again. As the solids begin to brown, stir until the majority of the solids at the top and the bottom are brown. Remove from heat, and set aside for browned solids to settle, about 20 minutes.
• When cool enough to handle, pour the clear, yellow liquid butter on top into a clean jar, or strain through a layer of cheesecloth. Ghee may be kept refrigerated, in an airtight container, for up to 4 months.
