RED EYE GRAVY

Red Eye Gravy image

Red eye gravy gets its name from the appearance of the gravy's color. This gravy was originally made from the fat of ham steaks and then most often used as an added component to the ham dish. In this recipe, I will be using ham stock cubes as a substitute for fat drippings as an alternative.

Ingredients

4 ham stock cubes
2 ½ tablespoons instant coffee granules
2 cups water
3 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Dissolve ham stock and coffee granules in water in a large mixing bowl to create a stock.

Add gravy stock mixture 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly, until it resembles the consistency of a gravy, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with black pepper. Remove from heat.
