Roasted Vegetable Gravy for Easter
As a Coeliac it is often difficult to get the gravy correctly thickened Gluten free flour can sometimes be lumpy and thickening with cornflour or arrowroot gives a very different texture
Gluten free flour can sometimes be lumpy and thickening with cornflour or arrowroot gives a very different texture.
My tip to solve this problem is to start at the beginning. On the tray where you are roasting your lamb, place a bed of root vegetables.
Ingredients
- 4 carrots washed and halved lengthwise.
- 1 large onion cut in 4 pieces (washed, not peeled)
- 2 sticks of celery washed and cut in half.
- 1 leek, washed and chopped into large pieces.
- 4 sprigs of fresh thyme 1 sprig of fresh rosemary or sage.
- 80g of red lentils 1lt of vegetable or chicken stock.
Method
- Simply place all the veg with the herbs under the joint you are roasting, cook for the time recommended by your butcher. Make sure the veg is right under the meat so it won’t burn.
- When the meat is cooked and you have taken it off the tray and covered it with foil, to rest, squeeze out the onion flesh and discard the skin. Discard the sprigs of herbs.
- Sprinkle on the red lentils, stirring them in through the roast veg. Scrape all this into a large saucepan and add the hot stock. Allow to cook for 15 minutes.
- Blend with a hand blender and pass it through a sieve or use it as is.
- Water can be added if it is too thick.
