Ghee Gravy Recipes

GHEE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a small, sturdy pan and cook over a low heat without stirring for 15-20 mins, or until the milk solids start to brown and the butter is golden. Turn the heat off and leave the pan undisturbed for a few minutes.
• Line a metal sieve with muslin or strong kitchen paper, and place over a heatproof bowl. Pour in the melted butter, taking care to leave the browned milk solids in the pan. Leave for a few minutes to drip into the bowl, then transfer to a jar. Because ghee has no moisture or milk solids, it will keep for up to three months at room temperature, but can also be stored in the fridge for extra longevity.

GHEE (INDIAN CLARIFIED BUTTER)

Steps:

• Line a sieve with 3 layers of cheesecloth and set over a jar.
• Bring butter to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. Once foam completely covers butter, reduce heat to very low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until a thin crust begins to form on surface and milky white solids fall to bottom of pan, about 8 minutes. Continue to cook butter, watching closely and stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until milk solids on bottom of pan are light brown and liquid is golden, translucent, and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and strain through cheesecloth-lined sieve into jar.

GHEE GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat ghee in a medium saucepan over medium until just beginning to bubble. Sprinkle in flour and whisk until no lumps remain. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, until a light yellow roux forms, 2-3 minutes.
• While whisking, add stock in a slow, steady stream. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook, whisking occasionally, until reduced to 3 cups, 15-20 minutes. Whisk in salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

GHEE

Steps:

• Place butter in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring butter to boil. This takes approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. The butter will form a foam which will disappear. Ghee is done when a second foam forms on top of butter, and the butter turns golden. Approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Brown milk solids will be in bottom of pan. Gently pour into heatproof container through fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Store in airtight container being sure to keep free from moisture. Ghee does not need refrigeration and will keep in airtight container for up to 1 month.
