What's a holiday dinner or Sunday roast without the gravy? Gravy has a ton of definitions, but when it all comes down to it, it's just the goodness on top of an already delicious feast.
I mean, there's a reason for the saying, "It's all gravy"... because there's truly nothing better.
Though everyone makes their gravy differently, this is my new favorite way because it's super easy, requires few ingredients and is fool-proof! No need to save the innards from the bird or to wait for the juices of the roast.
This Quick herbed Gravy is exactly that. By melting butter and toasting herbs, then adding in broth and simmering it down a bit, we create a luscious, light gravy with a richness that's not overbearing. Then to thicken it right up, a small slurry of arrowroot or cornstarch at the end will bring it all together!
