The Best Keto Gravy

Pin itFollow us 148.4k

This is my absolute favourite way to make low-carb gravy! I first created this easy keto recipe back in 2015 and since then I fine tuned it to perfection. It's thick and creamy with none of the starches and thickeners found in most gravy recipes.

I use chicken stock or bone broth to make mine but if you have meat drippings from a roast, it's even better! Simply use the drippings and add all the ingredients in this recipe apart from the bone broth into a saucepan. Follow the steps below and only use the bone broth if you need to thin the gravy down.

Nutritional values (per serving, ¹/₄ cup/ 60 ml)

Ingredients (makes 10 servings, about 2 ¹/₂ cups/ 600 ml)

• ¹/₂ cup dried Porcini mushrooms (15 g/ 0.5 oz)
• ¹/₂ cup boiling water to soak the mushrooms (120 ml/ 4 fl oz)
• 1 medium white onion (110 g/ 3.9 oz)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp freshly chopped sage and/or rosemary or herbs of choice
• 2 tbsp ghee or duck fat (30 g/ 1.1 oz)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar (15 ml)
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (30 ml)
• 2 cups bone broth or chicken stock or vegetable stock (480 ml/ 16 fl oz) - you can make your own bone broth
• sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
• Optional: ¹/₄ cup heavy whipping cream or coconut milk (60 ml/ 2 fl oz)

Instructions

1. Peel and dice the onion and garlic. Roughly chop the herbs.
2. Add boiling water to the porcini mushrooms and soak for 30 minutes. Peel and dice the onion and garlic.
3. Add the onion into a hot pan greased with ghee and cook over a medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and chopped herbs and cook for another minute.
4. Pour in the bone broth, lemon juice and add the soaked porcini mushrooms including the soaking liquid.
5. Add Worcestershire sauce (or balsamic vinegar) and mustard and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
6. Take off the heat. Use an immersion blender or place in a blender to process until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Depending on how much you reduce the gravy, you'll get 2 ¹/₄ to 3 cups of gravy. If the gravy is too thin, place back on the stove and cook until thickened. If the gravy is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water. You can optionally add ¹/₄ cup heavy whipping cream or coconut milk.
8. When done, serve immediately with meat, roasted vegetables or Creamy Keto Mash or let it cool down and store covered and refrigerated for up to 5 days. Reheat as needed.
