Could you not make your own gravy .. sorry cannot advise as I am vegetarian and the wife only makes onion or mushroom gravy. she will use a stock cube .. but never anything labelled gravy, I know this from when I tried to do gravy when the wife was away and I had to cook !!!! could ask her how do do gravy if you wish, but expect others will be able to advise
Got me thinking. Whizzing mushrooms onions BUTTER and a little broth would work for me!!! Yay. Great ideas!That sounds great, yes please, if you could ask her. Does she thicken it with anything or just whizz the mushroom or onion to thicken ?
Do you or don't you have gravy on a LCHF diet.
I've just made a shepherds pie with a cauliflower/mustard/cheese mash on the top but it wouldn't have been right without the gravy in the mince underneath. I've used Bisto Best which looks to be the lowest carb and am about to eat it.
I'll test my BG before and after, but I think I'll enjoy this experiment.
Yumm, that was good. I need to work on making the cauli mash firmer though.
BG before 5.8
BG after 45 mins 7.2
just back from my 30 minute walk.. ruddy cold out there
BG after 1hour and 45 mins 5.6
A very successful and tasty experiment
sorry for not getting back sooner .. the joys of an iffy broadband connection ..hope the wife has got it sorted now .. I asked about the gravy and she said it contained .. onion, mushrooms carrot celery, tomato, splash of white wine & a stock cube .. thickened with a teaspoon of cornflour mixed with water ...
Edit t add she says the corn flour can be as much as 4,g of carbs .. but she often will not use all the mixed cornflour as she just adds it until she's happy with the thickness .. and it serves 2 so 2,g of carbs ..
Would you cook the cauliflower before whizzing it?Whizzed (frozen, always available) cauliflower is my favoured lower-carb thickener for ANYTHING.
Just had cauliflower cheese with my bangers for tea - cauliflower florets + whizzed cauliflower + cheese, then more cheese on top, then baked. Best EVER.
Haven't tried whizzing cauli with beef (or other) stock, but I would imagine it would make a very yummy sauce. Must have a go!
