@Cana - In terms of making a very flavourful gravy, when I free-style recipes, I can be poor at seasoning well. I have found this vegetable stock paste to be excellent for adding a bang of flavour enhancer.

I do have an Instant Pot but I feel positive it could be achieved by another cooking means, and although I do have a really strong blender, I usually blend it using our stick blender. It's just easier for a lazy person like me!
I think keep some in the fridge on a Kilner jar, and freeze the rest. I use a giant ice cube tray, a bit like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tovolo-King-Cube-Trays-Blue/dp/B00395FHRO , and with trial and error, I know whether I need 1 or 2 cubes, or whatever, for whatever I'm making.

Those Tovolo silicon ice trays look perfect for my pates! Thank you! Have ordered two.
So that’s where you put gravy in to freeze?
Sorry, I'm not quite sure I understand your question.
When I make the veg stock paste, I freeze some of it, so bring a cube or two out to add to a recipe, as I would a shop bought recipe.
Any leftover gravy could also be frozen in those cubes, and brought out when required.
When whatever is in the tray is frozen, I decant the frozen cubes into a freezer bag, to free up the tray.
I've used this recipe as dumplings and it's a good sub, just make it as usual and pop it on the bowl of stew just before serving - it soaks up quickly so it's bst added just before eating.Some of my 90 second microwave bread has come out quite dumpling like (not deliberately but dumpling could be a good use for them

Hi - Cook off the excess water (which also concentrates flavour) by a boiling up without lid after removing meat/veg. you don't want overcooked to a warmed container. Sometimes I use a teaspoon of cornflour mixed with 20ml cold water to add to runny gravy and let it cook briefly, though it has a few carb's.No I hadn’t googled. Didn’t think if it sorry.
But also because you guys are so knowledgable. It’s safer than me googling and getting it wrong
Penguin shaped pate?Those Tovolo silicon ice trays look perfect for my pates! Thank you! Have ordered two.
Certainly OK in my world.Just looking at doing my shopping and have ordered ingredients for @dkukmod paste and now thinking of ingredients for casserole.
Only thing is casseroles usually have bundles and oodles of veg. But we have to be careful because of carbs.
I’d normally have carrots swede turnip (potato but I know this is out) celeriac.
Is this all ok?
Certainly OK in my world.
Having splurged on a cauldron (my pet name for the IP), you might want to consider joining the Facebook, Instant Pot UK group. There are soooooo many knowledgeable people on there, and lots of inventive cooks. They saved my skin loads of times when I wasn't sure what to do, or how to tackle some stuff.
Are there veg I should avoid?
Don’t want to have too many carbs but not quite sure how to eat veg without it being carbs
