Gravy

This is for the times that your food is ‘dry’ and you don’t have any meat juices to call on. This can also be used as a sauce that can be used to cook your chosen meat in.
Here is an alternative gravy recipe for those occasions where you do have meat juices.
Ingredients
1 small onion, finely chopped
¼ red pepper, chopped into small pieces
¼ green pepper, chopped into small pieces

1 tbsp oil
1 chicken stock cube (for chicken or port) or beef stock cube (for lamb and beef)
1 tsp dried mixed herbs
1 tsp cornflour
280ml (½ pint) of boiling water
seasoning
