Pan Gravy

Rich and savory pan gravy is the essence of comfort food, made by whisking flour into the flavorful drippings left in the roasting pan. Its silky texture and deep, meaty flavor are the perfect complement to roasted meats and hearty dishes.

Notes

For the best results, use the drippings from your roasted meat to create a gravy that's bursting with flavor. Always whisk constantly to avoid lumps.

Ground Fenugreek

Ground fenugreek offers a unique, bittersweet flavor with hints of maple and celery, and a warm, slightly nutty aroma. Originating from the Mediterranean region and widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Ethiopian cuisines, it adds depth to dishes with its distinctive taste. Its fine, powdery texture blends seamlessly into spice mixes, enriching curries, stews, and spice rubs. Valued for its ability to mimic the taste of maple syrup, it is also used in some non-culinary applications.

Cucumber

Cucumber is a hydrating and refreshing vegetable known for its high water content and mild flavor. It has a crisp texture and is often enjoyed raw in salads or as a snack.
