Lamb gravy can be made with or without pan drippings. Here are some options for making lamb gravy:
-
With pan drippings: Use the pan drippings from a roasted lamb to make a rich and flavorful gravy. Heat the drippings on the stove, add flour to thicken, and then slowly add beef or lamb stock while stirring. Simmer for a few minutes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Without pan drippings: If you dont have pan drippings, you can still make a tasty lamb gravy. Heat some fat (butter or oil) in a saucepan, add flour to make a roux, and then slowly add lamb or beef stock while stirring. Simmer for a few minutes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Additions for extra flavor: To add more flavor to your lamb gravy, you can add red wine, garlic, fresh herbs (such as rosemary), Worcestershire or soy sauce, tomato paste, or redcurrant or mint jelly.
