Lamb and Redcurrant Gravy
Rated 5.0 stars by 1 users
Deep, rich and utterly irresistible, this lamb gravy will elevate your Sunday roast. Made with the pan juices from roast lamb, layered with flavour from garlic, rosemary, lamb stock and red wine, it’s truly worth making your own. A spoonful of glossy Tiptree Red Currant jelly at the end cuts through the richness, creating the perfect sweet-savoury balance.
Ingredients
-
Pan juices from freshly cooked roast lamb
-
4 tbsp plain flour
-
700ml lamb or vegetable stock
-
100ml red wine
-
½ a clove of minced garlic
-
1 tsp dried or finely chopped fresh rosemary
-
1 tsp tomato puree
-
1 tsp soy sauce
-
Salt and freshly ground pepper
-
1 tbsp Tiptree Red Currant Jelly
-
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Directions
Remove your roast lamb from the roasting dish and set aside to rest.
Use the roast lamb residue in the pan, any juices, and about 1 tbsp fat (pour off excess fat if necessary).
Place the roasting dish on the stove top over a medium heat. Add the pan juices to the boil, scraping any bits of lamb into the juices.
Add the flour and mix until combined using a small whisk.
Reduce the heat and cook until the flour mixture browns. Stir often, scraping the meat residue as you go and making sure the mixture doesn't burn. Add a splash of water if it looks dry.
Mix in the garlic, rosemary, tomato puree and soy sauce.
Remove the roasting dish from the heat, slowly pour in the stock and wine bit by bit and whisk all the time until the gravy is well mixed and smooth. Don’t worry about a few lumps as you will strain the gravy at the end.
Return the roasting dish to the heat, bring the gravy to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 3 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat and stir in the Red Currant Jelly until fully melted.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Strain the gravy through a sieve into a warm serving jug and pour it over your roast lamb whilst still hot. Serve with extra Red Currant Jelly on the side.
Additional Information
If you don’t want to use wine, replace it with an extra 100ml of stock.
