Best Cajun Tomato Gravy Recipes

OLD-FASHIONED SOUTHERN TOMATO GRAVY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Put the chopped tomatoes in a saucepan with 1 cup of the chicken stock. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer the tomatoes while you prepare the roux.
• Put the bacon drippings or butter in a medium saucepan and place it over medium-low heat.
• When the fat has melted and the foaming subsides, add the flour.
• Cook, whisking constantly until the roux is just light brown. It should be about the color of peanut butter. Don't let it burn.
• Remove the pan from the heat and gradually stir in the simmering tomato and broth mixture.
• Return the tomato mixture to the heat and stir in 1/4 cup of milk, cream, water, or stock.
• Whisk in tomato paste, if using, along with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring until hot and bubbling. If too thick, add more liquid (milk, cream, water or stock) as needed.
• Garnish the sauce with a sprinkling of chopped fresh parsley and serve.
