Christina's Notes

  • Don't Over Thicken: Start with the designated amount of cornstarch slurry. Then feel free to add more, a little at a time, if you want a thicker gravy.
  • Add Herbs Last: Add the garlic and thyme at the end to keep the flavor fresh.
  • Taste and Season: This recipe can become quite salty. Be sure to taste it before adding more salt or pepper.
