If you're looking for a kick it up a notch.
Delicious spicy hot gravy.
Well, don't go any further.
Here it is.
Hey, everybody, it's Johnny Mac
with The Sauce and Gravy Channel.
And in this recipe, I'm going to show you
how to make a delicious spicy hot Cajun gravy.
Get ready. Let's go.
We're going to start off with
these lovely Cajun style vegetables.
We're going to mince them.
We want them to be minced nice
and fine, nice and small pieces.
So we've got the red Bell pepper, the celery.
We've got some onions.
We mince them down.
We're going to have a little skillet here.
Put it on medium heat, throw in some butter.
We're going to go ahead and melt that butter down.
So we'll start off with the celery.
It's going to be 1/3 cup or 35 grams.
And that was really just one stalk of celery.
So again, chop it up nice and fine.
Throw it in on that butter.
Put it in that skillet.
We're going to go ahead and saute these guys down.
Next we're going to go ahead and throw in
some onions, minced onions, again, chopped nice and fine.
There's roughly a small onion or about
1/2 cup or 60 grams.
So throw it on and get it well incorporated. All right.
And in goes the red Bell pepper, absolutely delicious.
It's going to be about
1/4 cup or roughly about 35 grams.
And it goes.
We're going to go ahead and saute these bad boys down.
We're going to get them nice
and translucent, nice and tender.
You're going to want to do this.
It's probably going to take you roughly about ten
minutes to do over medium to low heat.
You don't want to burn these guys.
You just want to go ahead and get them nice and soft.
So after you've cooked these vegetables for
roughly about five minutes or so.
So halfway through the cooking, you're going to go ahead
and throw in some minced garlic, two cloves, finely minced,
smashed on the board to release the flavors.
And they go, you don't want to put that in too
soon because if you do, you might possibly burn it.
The garlic tends to burn.
You definitely don't want to do that. All right.
So these guys are looking fantastic.
They're nice and tender.
We're going to go ahead and we're going to take
them and transfer them into a bowl or a plate.
We're going to take them put them on
the side for a little bit later.
But just notice there's nothing burnt.
They're all nice and tender.
Look really fantastic.
All right.
So now we're going to start step number two here.
We're going to throw in a little bacon grease.
So one tablespoon of bacon grease
and one tablespoon of butter.
Go ahead and melt that down over medium heat.
So for this step, we're going to go ahead
and we're going to start to make the Roux.
So we're going to melt down
that butter, meltdown that bacon grease.
Then we're going to go ahead and get our lovely
flour, throw it on, and we're going to put in
1.5 tablespoons or roughly about 15 grams.
We're going to go ahead and start
to Cook this over medium heat.
Now for this gravy.
It's going to have a lot of flavor,
a lot of taste, a lot of spices.
So we're going to start off that
flavor right here with the roux.
We're going to go ahead and we want this roux.
We're going to Cook it until it's
a nice Brown paper bag color.
So we're going to bring in a lot of flavor.
You don't want to do this too fast.
If you try to do it too quick,
you'll get a lot of black specks.
You'll burn that flour.
You don't want to burn it.
You just want to Cook it.
You want to turn it this nice
peanut buttery Brown paper bag collar.
You'll also notice it has kind of
a nutty type flavor smell to it.
It's absolutely delicious.
So once you get to that brownish Brown paper bag
color, you're going to want to go ahead and get
your vegetables and start throwing them back in.
And make sure you get all these little guys.
They all have a little bit of flavor.
Get on in there, boys.
Get on in. Okay.
So once everybody's in, go ahead
and give them a nice stir. You're going to get them all
incorporated with that delicious roux.
Again, over medium heat.
You're going to Cook this, too for a little bit.
You want to Cook this for roughly two to
five minutes over that low to medium heat.
You're going to want to get all those
lovely flavors from all those vegetables in there. Okay.
So these guys are looking might have found.
Now it's time to throw in a little bit of veal stock.
1.5 cups or 356 ML of veal stock goes on in.
And make sure you scrape the bottom of that pan.
You want to get all that roux up.
You don't want it to stick to the bottom.
You want it to get well incorporated
to help thicken up that lovely sauce.
So at this point you can grab a
spoon, you can start scraping the bottom, scrape
the sides, get everything well incorporated. All right.
Now it's time to add a little bit of W sauce.
We're going to throw a little splash
in 1/4 teaspoon.
Now our little friend Tabasco.
1/4 teaspoon, little splash.
Kick it up a notch for a little bit of spice.
Start on in and we're ready to go.
Okay.
Next up to bat is our wonderful
Cajun spice mix, some Cajun seasoning.
Check the description below.
I've got a list of all
the ingredients in this Cajun spice.
Now you can make this as spicy as
you like with one tablespoon it's pretty spicy.
You can take that back a little bit put a
little bit less if it's a little bit too hot
for you but it's really good with one tablespoon.
Now this Cajun gravy is absolutely super for red
beans and rice you can throw it over rice
or you can Cook some meats with it.
If you wanted to Cook say some smoked
sausage or some chicken or some shrimp Cook
those items first, then Cook your vegetables, then
do the sauce, throw everything together and Bam
you've got some fantastic delicious dishes.
Now we're going to go ahead and throw
in 1/2 teaspoon of some oregano and
then a nice 1/2 teaspoon of some thyme.
Some powdered thyme.
Throw it on in.
Go ahead and mix these bad boys in.
You can really just make this sauce to taste so again
you can cut back on the Cajun spices a little bit.
If you don't like it as hot and spicy you
can put in a little bit less Tabasco or you
can put more it's just absolutely tasty choice.
Now as with any sauce you're going to want to
give it a little bit of a taste to see
if it needs any seasoning so give it a taste.
They go ahead and adjust with a little bit of salt and
pepper and season to taste and there you got it folks.
Delicious spicy Cajun gravy.
