gravy

🥗Healthier: mushroom gravy

💰Cheaper: store-bought gravy

Mushroom gravy is lower in fat and adds a rich umami flavor.

In a pot, add 80 g of butter and fry off some finely chopped onion.

Add 1 minced clove of garlic to the pot and cook until softened.

Chop 2 rashes of bacon and add to the pot, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until caramelized.

Add a couple of spoonfuls of flour to the pot and cook off the flour.

Dissolve 0.5 teaspoon of stock powder into 2 cups of water.

Gradually add the stock to the pot while stirring until the gravy thickens.

Add a hint of Worcestershire sauce for color and flavor.

Prepare crinkled cut chips (frozen or fresh) by deep-frying until crispy.

Cut mozzarella cheese into small cubes and sprinkle over the hot chips.

Pour the thickened gravy over the chips and cheese, adding more cheese on top.
