Introduction

What’s brilliant about this fantastic veggie gravy is you can make it, reserve what you need for your veggie guests, then reheat the rest in your tray of roasted meat juices for even more amplified deliciousness.

Ingredients

1leek
1carrot
1stick of celery
1onion
1veg stock cube
10gdried porcini mushrooms
1 bunch ofrosemary (20g)
180gvac-packed chestnuts
15gunsalted butter
½ tspsmoked paprika
150mlred wine
2 tbspbalsamic vinegar
1 tbspquince or redcurrant jelly

Essential kit

You will need: a hand stick blender.

Method

Stir the butter, chestnuts and paprika into the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, then add the wine, balsamic and jelly. Let the liquid cook away, cool slightly, then tip the contents of the pan into a blender. Pour in the porcini and the stock, discarding just the last gritty bit and the rosemary, add 500ml of water and blitz until very smooth – in batches, if needed. Season to perfection, tasting and tweaking, then cool, cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

To serve: Simply reheat the gravy in a pan, or, for bonus flavour, use your tray of roasting juices from the Epic mixed roast, loosening with splashes of water, if needed.

The freezer is your friend: This gravy freezes really well so get super ahead or eve batch up. Simply defrost and reheat.
