I need some new options

Re: Let's talk gravy
I have used flaxseed meal to thicken sauces before. I don't remember how much I used for it, but it worked.27/f/5'10"

Re: Let's talk gravy
Thickenthin will thicken it but (in my opnion) it just has the worst texture. Yuck!
I also use less liquid in things to start with and add cream or cheese to thicken (obv cheese wouldn't be too good in gravy though!). x Sorry I can't help. I have never attempted gravy on this way of eating as didn't think you'd be able to make a legal version so will watch this thread carefully! xx224/200/165

Re: Let's talk gravy
Does the thickener need to be gluten-free?
What rung are you on?
These are just some ideas (all are gluten-free), not sure what all of them would taste like!
Induction/Rung 1--cook veggies like celery and puree to thicken the drippings to make gravy.
Rung 2--sour cream
Rung 3--almond flour, flax meal
Rung 6--soy flour, garbanzo bean flour
Rung 8--tapioca starch, potato starch
Rung 9--corn starch, rice flourSTART 8/16/06 @ 270+~MG1: 220-12/2/06~MG2: 210-1/07~MG3: 199-3/2/07~MG4: 190-4/27/07~MG5: 180-7/04/07~GOAL: 170
