Main Ingredients

4 tbsp unsalted butter Opt for high-quality butter for the best flavor.
¾ cup onion (very finely minced) A sweet onion works beautifully; substitutes include yellow onion or shallots.
¼ tsp kosher salt Always use kosher salt for even seasoning.
3 tbsp all-purpose flour Regular flour is recommended; cornstarch is a gluten-free alternative.
1 cup chicken broth Homemade broth is best; if using store-bought, opt for low-sodium.
2 tbsp white wine Add dry white wine for acidity or substitute with additional chicken broth.
1 tbsp grainy mustard Enhances depth; variations like spicy or sweet mustards can be used.
½ cup heavy cream Coconut cream can work as a dairy-free substitute.
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper Freshly ground elevates flavor.
1 tbsp soy sauce Opt for low-sodium to prevent overpowering saltiness.
pd pan drippings from roasting pork If unavailable, substitute with ¼ cup of extra chicken broth.

Cooking Process

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely minced onion and kosher salt. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Whisk in the flour, cooking for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color.
Slowly add the chicken broth and white wine while whisking to avoid lumps. Stir in the grainy mustard, heavy cream, pepper, and soy sauce.
Incorporate the reserved pan drippings, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. For a lumpy gravy, blend or whisk vigorously.

Leftover gravy can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on low heat, adding broth if it thickens.
