Ingredients
- 0.5 cup pork drippings
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the pork drippings and unsalted butter until the butter is fully melted.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the almond flour, mixing thoroughly to form a roux with the fat and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and lightly golden.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, a little at a time, ensuring the roux is fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a simmer while continuously stirring until the gravy begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 6
Lower the heat and add the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Allow the gravy to cook for another 3-5 minutes until it has thickened to the desired consistency.
Step 7
Season with salt, ground black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 8
Remove from heat and let the gravy sit for a minute before giving it a final stir and serving hot.
