Brown Gravy Recipe ingredients

• 2-½ tablespoons solid vegetable fat
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon chopped onion
• 1 small tomato
• 2 cups vegetable broth or water
• Salt to taste

To prepare this Brown Gravy Recipe, first put the fat into a frying pan, and when hot, add the flour, and stir constantly until a nice brown. Add the chopped onion, and continue to stir for a few minutes; then the tomato and stir for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly evaporated, as this will give it a good flavor. Add one third of the liquid, and stir until smooth and free from lumps. Add the rest of the liquid, and let boil slowly for 10 minutes; then strain and serve.

Country Gravy

Use the same proportions of flour and fat as in either of the two preceding ; omit the onion, and use milk in the place of vegetable broth or water.
