Fennel gravy

Serves 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

pan juices from a roast chicken or turkey
2½ cups chicken stock
1 large bulb fresh fennel, cubed, plus ¼ cup chopped fennel fronds
¼ cup shallot, finely chopped
¼ cup Pernod (anise-flavoured liqueur)
6 T flour
½ cup dry white wine

Method

Scrape the pan juices and browned bits from the pan into a 4-cup measuring jug.

Spoon off the fat and reserve ⁄ cup. Add the stock to the juices to measure 4 cups.

Heat the reserved turkey fat in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the fennel cubes and shallot. Sauté until browned, about 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat and add the liqueur. Return to the heat and stir for 30 seconds. Whisk in the flour. Cook until the flour starts to brown, about 1 minute.

Gradually whisk in the wine, then the stock mixture. Simmer until the gravy coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes. Add the fennel fronds and season to taste.
