Ghost Ship Chilli Gravy by Spice Island Chilli
Whether you’re spicing up a traditional roast dinner, adding some fire to your toad in a hole, or welly to your wellington, our Ghost Ship Chilli Gravy is guaranteed to tantalise taste buds and take your dishes to a whole new level.
You will need:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken or beef stock (homemade or store-bought)
1/2 cup meat drippings (if you’re making a roast)
1 teaspoon Ghost Ship chilli sauce (adjust to taste)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions for Ghost Ship Chilli Gravy
Note: If you’re roasting meat, collect the drippings from the roasting pan and set aside half a cup for the gravy.
Grab yourself a medium-sized saucepan and melt your unsalted butter over a medium heat.
Gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a smooth roux; you should continue whisking constantly to avoid any lumps! After 2-3 minutes your roux should be a golden colour.
Slowly pour in your meat drippings, whisking continuously.
Whilst still whisking, slowly add your chosen stock to the mixture; this can be in the form of a stock cube to make life easier!
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over a medium heat and allow to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Finish off by adding a dollop of Ghost Ship chilli sauce by Spice Island Chilli; you can start with one teaspoon, give it a taste and add more depending on your preference. You can then season the gravy with salt and pepper.
Remove from the heat and strain if you prefer a smooth consistency.
Alternatively…
Add 4-5 heaped tablespoons of gravy granules into a jug
Pour in ½ a pint of boiling water and stir until dissolved
Add in your meat juices
Add a dollop of Ghost Ship; start off with a teaspoon and see how you get on!
