How people cook with it

To prepare, simply pour the contents of the container into a saucepan. Heat gently over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the gravy is piping hot. Be careful not to boil it, as this can alter the texture. Alternatively, you can heat it in a microwave-safe dish. Ensure it is thoroughly heated before serving. It can also be added directly to dishes during cooking to infuse them with flavor.
