Roasted Pork Gravy Mix
What it is
This is a dry powder designed to create a rich and savory pork gravy. It typically contains dehydrated meat drippings, starches for thickening, and seasonings. When rehydrated with water or broth, it transforms into a smooth sauce that complements a variety of dishes. The mix offers a convenient way to achieve a homemade gravy flavor without the need for slow simmering or pan drippings.
How people cook with it
This gravy mix is a versatile addition to many meals. It can be used to enhance the flavor of roasted meats and side dishes.

To prepare the gravy, combine the dry mix with the recommended amount of cold water or broth in a saucepan. Whisk thoroughly to ensure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. This usually takes a few minutes. For a richer flavor, you can substitute some or all of the water with chicken or beef broth. Adjust seasonings to taste if needed.
