Best Chicken Gravy Ever

Ingredients


Drippings and vegetables (onions, carrots, celery, turnips, parsnips - whatever you fancy) from an Oven Roasted Chicken
1/2 c. white wine

Instructions

Take the juices and vegetables from your oven roasted chicken and place in a pan on the stove.  Add butter or ghee and wine.  Bring to a boil.  Using an emulsion blender or regular blender, puree vegetables with sauce. 

Easiest gravy ever and oh-so-tasty!

Oven Roasted Chicken with Gravy

Ingredients

2 onions, quartered
4 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped

3 sticks celery
1 whole chicken, free-range or organic, if possible
1/4 c. melted butter or ghee
1 tsp. thyme or several sprigs fresh
1 tsp. salt
4 cloves garlic, pressed
4 c. chicken stock
1/2 c. dry white wine

Instructions

Rinse and pat chicken dry. 

Blend thyme and salt together. 

Place the onions in the bottom of the roasting pan. 

Coat chicken with half of the butter or ghee, then sprinkle with half thyme/salt mixture and garlic, and place in the roasting pan, over the onions.  Arrange the carrots and celery around the chicken.   

Bake at 350 for 1 hour.  Remove the chicken from the oven, then flip the chicken.  Coat it with the remaining butter or ghee, sprinkle with remaining thyme/salt mixture and garlic. Return to oven for another hour or until juices run clear.

Cut chicken into pieces.  Place the chicken in the oven to keep warm while you're making the gravy. 

Instructions for Gravy

Pour the wine into the bottom of the roasting pan and scrape up the brown bits.  Pour the liquid and vegetables into a saucepan (or, if you're using a flame-proof roasting dish, you can use that) and bring to a boil.  Using an emulsion blender or pouring into a regular blender, puree the vegetables in the liquid. 

Serve hot over chicken pieces. 

This recipe is based on the Nourishing Traditions Roast Chicken recipe.

Jamaican Patties (Ground Beef Curry Pasties)

These pasties are fantastic!  Keeping the dough together to make the pasties was a bit tricky, but making them in two pieces on top of my Silpat (instead of the parchment), filling one side with meat, laying the other half on top, them crimping the edges of the two pieces together did the trick. 

Next time, I'll chill the dough in the freezer beforehand, too.  I think that will make it even easier! 

They baked up beautifully, held up nicely while eating, and the leftover were to die for!
