Savory Gravy

Cultural Context

Savory gravy is a staple in American cuisine, often served with meats and side dishes during family meals and holiday gatherings. Its rich flavor enhances comfort foods like mashed potatoes and biscuits. While traditionally made with meat drippings, variations have emerged using vegetable broth for vegetarian options, making it a versatile addition to many meals.
