Vegemite Gravy Recipe

How to make Vegemite Gravy

Method

  1. Start with the sticky roasting pan used to roast your turkey. If it can’t go onto the stove, then scrape all the sticky brown bits out of the tin and transfer to a frying pan.
  2. If there’s any excess roasting juices in the pan, tip them off and reserve.
  3. Place pan over a medium heat and stir in the flour (see note below). Cook for a minute or until the mixture starts to resemble light brown sand. 
  4. Turn up the heat, whisk in the chicken stock and Vegemite and cook for a few minutes until the gravy thickens to your liking. Taste and add more Vegemite if you like.
  5. Pour into a warmed gravy boat and serve.

Note: If there’s a lot of excess fat in the sticky pan, pour some off and proceed. If there’s not enough fat in the pan to absorb the flour, simply add a knob of butter.

Tips: Gravy can be made from the pan of any roast meat – such as chicken, beef, pork or lamb. It’s best to use beef stock with red meat.
