Author: Per Asmussen
Keyword: Dinner, Family Food, Sauce, Sides, Vegetables, Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • Mixed vegetables from dish in roasting pan or ovenproof dish
  • stock from the dish
  • Milk or cream, possibly
  • Broth cube or powder
  • Gravy Color
  • Gravy Thickener
  • Spices salt and pepper
  • Lemon Juice
  • Sugar
  • Vinegar

Instructions

  • Blend the vegetables with a bit of the stock and pour it into a saucepan.
  • Heat it up well and gradually add stock until the consistency is as you want it.
  • If the sauce is too thin, you can always add a flour mixture at the end.
  • Although there is plenty of flavor in the stock and the vegetables, it often helps to add a bit of bouillon (I always use Fond du Chef) to the sauce.
  • If it is too thick, thin it with a bit of milk.
  • The color of the sauce is usually yellowish (from the vegetables), so remember to use gravy browning.
  • Feel free to add a bit of cream at the end and season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and vinegar. Normally, I would also season with sugar, but as the sauce is often on the sweet side due to the vegetables, it is rarely necessary.
