To prepare the gravy, simply measure the desired amount of granules into a jug or bowl. Gradually whisk in hot water or vegetable stock, ensuring all the granules dissolve completely. Continue whisking until the gravy reaches your preferred consistency. For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine or a pinch of herbs. It can be made ahead of time and reheated gently, or prepared just before serving to ensure maximum freshness and flavor.
