Roast Potatoes Gravy
Directions
- 1In a large pot over high heat, add the oil. Once hot, add the shallots and a pinch of salt, then sweat down.
- 2After 3-4 minutes, add the rest of the vegetables and cook until some colour starts to develop, then add the garlic.
- 3Next, add the flour and tomato paste, stirring well. Cook this for 2-3 minutes to cook out the flour.
- 4Now, add the ale, stirring well, and cook for a further 4 minutes before adding the herbs and then the stock.
- 5Stir well, and then let it simmer for 40 minutes or until the gravy reaches your desired thickness.
- 6When it's thick enough, check the salt level, and if you're happy, pass it through a sieve to remove any solid pieces.
