Thicken Up with These Tips!"},"content":{"rendered":"\nWho says that gravies are just for the winter season? Even if it&#8217;s summer, your dinners won&#8217;t be complete without gravy! However, some people might think that they need to give up their favorite condiment to maintain their figure. But, did you know that gravy can be a low-calorie sauce? Yes, you read it right. If you&#8217;re curious about how to make low-calorie gravy, you&#8217;re at the right place! Here are some tips to thicken up your gravy game.\n\n<h2>Spice Up Your Gravy Game<\/h2>\n\nFirst of all, let&#8217;s talk about the spices. Adding the right spices to your gravy will bring out its flavors. You don&#8217;t need to add a lot of spices, just a little bit will do the trick. One of the classic spices is black pepper. It adds a subtle flavor and a little bit of heat to your gravy. You can also add garlic powder, thyme, and rosemary if you want to give your gravy an earthy flavor.\n\nAnother secret to a tasty gravy is using broth instead of water. By using broth, you&#8217;re adding more flavor to your gravy. You can use chicken or beef broth, depending on what type of meat you&#8217;re using. If you&#8217;re a vegetarian, you can use veggie broth instead. Just make sure that your broth is unsalted, as you can always adjust the seasoning later.\n\n<h2>Thickening Tips for a Deliciously Creamy Gravy<\/h2>\n\nNow, let&#8217;s move on to the thickening process. The traditional way of thickening gravy is by using flour. However, if you&#8217;re trying to watch your weight, you can use cornstarch instead. Cornstarch is a low-calorie thickener that can make your gravy smooth and creamy without adding too many calories. To use cornstarch, mix it with a small amount of cold water, then add it to your gravy while whisking continuously.\n\nIf you&#8217;re not a fan of cornstarch, you can also use pureed vegetables as a thickener. Pureed potatoes or carrots are excellent choices that can add more nutrients to your gravy. Just make sure to puree them well before adding them to your gravy. You can also use pureed cauliflower or butternut squash if you want to add more flavor.\n\nWho says that you can&#8217;t enjoy your favorite gravy while watching your weight? With these tips, you can create a delicious and low-calorie sauce that you can enjoy all year round. So, go ahead and spice up your gravy game and thicken up your sauce with these tips!\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&#8230;]\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":205255,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"0","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","wpupg_custom_link":[],"wpupg_custom_link_behaviour":[],"wpupg_custom_link_nofollow":[],"wpupg_custom_image":[],"wpupg_custom_image_id":[],"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_daim_seo_power":"","_daim_enable_ail":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_predictive_search_focuskw":"","_ps_exclude_item":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[128000,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-205254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-recent-posts"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/menuculture.com\/recipeshop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/pexels-photo-1618952.jpeg?fit=1880%2C1253&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":208053,"url":"https:\/\/menuculture.com\/recipeshop\/2023\/08\/09\/chicken-nihari\/","url_meta":{"origin":205254,"position":0},"title":"Chicken Nihari","author":"admin","date":"August 9, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Chicken Nihari Chicken Nihari is a delicious and aromatic traditional Pakistani and Indian dish.
