Cornstarch Gravy

Lighter gravy made from cornstarch instead of flour. I use this to simmer pork chops.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 2 cups

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons  pan drippings or 2  tablespoons  oil
• 2  cups water
• 1  small onion
• 1  small green pepper
• 1 -2  garlic clove

• For slurry

• 2  tablespoons cornstarch
• 4  tablespoons cold water

Directions

1. While meat is cooking, slice bell pepper and onion, crush or chop 1 or 2 cloves of garlic.
2. When meat is done, remove from pan and set to the side. In the leftover drippings, add onion, green pepper and garlic, sautee until onion begins to brown.
3. Add 2 cups of water and stir to remove browned bits from bottom of pan. Bring to a light boil and remove from heat.
4. In a cup, combine 2 tbsp cornstarch and 4 tbsp water, stir until smooth. This is your slurry.
5. Return pan to heat, add slurry and stir until well combined. Bring to boil, season to taste.
