Almond Gravy
Posted Mon, 02/16/04
Wilbert and I ate Chinese food for lunch, but rather than have sweet-n-sour chicken we opted to try chicken with almond gravy instead. I knew I'd like it. Any and all foods with almonds ranks high on my list, whether the nuts are whole or ground, but I was certain my husband would dislike the taste. He seems to abhor anything I like, and vice-versa.
To my surprise, he loved the almond gravy and claimed it would be his favorite way to eat chicken meant for sweet-n-sour from now on.
The almond gravy is light tan in color and smooth, almost rich-looking, with absolutely no food particles. I looked around online tonight to see if I could find something comparable and discovered the following from Specialty Foods (their web site is now defunct):
Almond Gravy
2 C water
1/2 C almonds, ground
2 TBS cornstarch
Onion powder
Salt to taste
Blend all ingredients well in blender; transfer to saucepan and cook over medium heat until thick. Dilute if necessary.
Utter yum!
