About Light homemade gravy
Light homemade gravy is a flavorful sauce typically crafted from pan drippings, broth, and a thickening agent like flour or cornstarch. Often originating from Western cuisine, it’s a staple accompaniment to roasted meats, mashed potatoes, and holiday dinners, offering a savory boost to classic dishes. Unlike heavier gravies, the lighter version reduces the amount of fat and relies on lower-sodium broth and minimal butter or oil, making it a healthier option for those watching their calorie intake. It retains its rich taste and smooth texture by using quality ingredients and careful preparation. While traditionally tied to American and European culinary traditions, variations exist globally, tailored to local flavors. Although light homemade gravy is lower in fat and salt, moderation should still be exercised to keep sodium and carbohydrate levels in check, particularly if thickened with flour. This versatile sauce is both a comforting and manageable indulgence for mealtime.
