Gravy
Gravy is a savory sauce traditionally made from meat drippings or broth, thickened with flour or starch to create a smooth, velvety texture. This staple of Western cuisine derives its rich umami flavor from roasted meat juices or vegetable-based stocks in vegetarian versions, though commercial varieties often contain significant sodium and saturated fats. It is most commonly served as a warm accompaniment to roasted meats, mashed potatoes, and biscuits, enhancing dishes with moisture and concentrated flavor.
