Notes

This pork gravy is versatile; you can customize it by adding herbs, spices, or a splash of wine for extra depth. Adjust the thickness by controlling the amount of flour or broth. If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the gravy before serving. Pour generously over roasted pork, mashed potatoes, or biscuits for a comforting meal.
