Preparation time: 40 minutes. Serves 8-10 (about 1 quart).
Ingredients:
Mirpoix:
- 3/4 cup finely chopped onion (4 ounces)
- 6 tablespoons finely chopped celery and celery
tops (about 2 ounces)
- 6 tablespoons finely chopped carrots (2 ounces)
- 5 cups chicken or pork stock
- 5 ounces fat from cooked pork
- 5 tablespoons flour (2 1/2 ounces)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- After removing the pork (chops or loin) from the
pan, add the mirepoix to the dippings
- Place the pan over medium-high heat and cook until
mirepoix is brown and moisture has evaporated leaving only the fat, mirepoix
and browned drippings
- Pour the mixture into a large measuring cup (fat
will rise to the top)
- Spoon fat into a separate measuring cup to five
ounces (discard any over 5 ounces. If pork fat does not equal at least 5
ounces, just add butter to make up the remainder)
- Deglaze (pour around inside edges of) the pan with
some chicken or pork stock
- Pour the deglazing liquid and mirepoix mixture (minus the fat) into a sauce pan with remaining chicken or pork stock
- Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to a simmer
- Wipe out sauté pan, heat over medium heat and pour
reserved fat into the pan
- Add flour and make a brown
roux, stirring until the mixture browns (be careful not to burn)
- Slowly pour the roux into the simmering
stock mixture, simmer 15 minutes until thickened and slightly
reduced
- Strain the gravy and adjust the seasoning
