Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 4 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 50 g unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp plain flour
- 2 cups (500 ml) chicken stock
- 1 cup (250 ml) beef stock
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp finely ground black pepper
- Salt, to taste
Method
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and onion powder and cook 1–2 minutes until it smells nutty and turns pale gold.
- Whisk in the chicken and beef stock a little at a time, whisking constantly so no lumps form.
- Simmer 5–7 minutes, whisking occasionally, until it thickens enough to coat a spoon.
- Keep the gravy warm over the lowest heat, whisking now and then, until you are ready to serve.
- Stir in the pepper and taste for salt. Serve hot over chips, mash or fried chicken. Tip: add the stock a little at a time and whisk constantly — pouring it all in at once is how gravy goes lumpy — and use both stocks, because chicken alone tastes thin and beef alone tastes too dark.
