Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup giblets (neck, heart, liver)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the giblets by cleaning them thoroughly and chopping into small, uniform pieces. Remove any excess fat or membranes.
- Set the pressure cooker to sauté mode. Melt butter and sauté the chopped onions until they become translucent and slightly golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped giblets to the onions and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- Sprinkle flour over the giblets and onions, stirring continuously to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Ensure all ingredients are well combined.
- Close the pressure cooker lid and set to high pressure. Cook for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and giblets to become tender.
- Once cooking is complete, use natural release method. Carefully open the lid and check the consistency of the gravy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If gravy is too thick, add additional broth; if too thin, use additional flour to thicken.
- Strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother texture, if desired. Serve hot alongside roasted meats or poultry.
Tips
- Cleaning is Key: Thoroughly clean and trim the giblets, removing any unwanted membranes or excess fat to ensure a smooth, clean flavor.
- Roux Perfection: Take your time when creating the roux – cooking the flour with butter and onions helps eliminate any raw flour taste and builds a rich flavor foundation.
- Whisk Constantly: When adding chicken broth, whisk continuously to prevent lumps and create a silky-smooth gravy.
- Consistency Matters: Don't be afraid to adjust the gravy's thickness. Add more broth if it's too thick, or a bit more flour if it's too thin.
- Straining Option: For an ultra-smooth gravy, strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any small bits and achieve a restaurant-quality texture.
- Make Ahead Friendly: This gravy can be prepared in advance and gently reheated, making it perfect for holiday meal planning.
- Flavor Boost: For an extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or a dash of herbs like thyme or sage to the gravy.
