    This is almost exactly the way I was raised to make tomato gravy. I let my roux get a little darker as that also imparts flavor. My adult son just called me asking how to make tomato gravy. I sent him your video for assistance since I do not know proportions, I just eyeball it. Thank you!

    Americans love Italian food. They love the ubiquitous foods like pizza, pasta, and lasagna, and they even love the harder to find traditional Italian meat dishes like brassato and cotoletta alla milanese.
    “The subject isn’t even argued in South Philadelphia, where even some non-Italians refer to the magnificently smooth pureed tomato masterpiece as gravy,”
    People who call it “gravy”
    Although it’s the less popular term, some of America’s most prominent and famous chefs use gravy.
    recipe for Sunday Gravy that’s perfect for large portions of spaghetti. Although, it should be noted, she also has a recipe for the type of gravy that people put on the Thanksgiving turkey called No Fail Gravy.
    Americans generally lost the distinction between meat-based and non-meat-based over time, but certain regions held onto it - including when talking about Italian food.
    Here’s the kicker: There’s no similar word or dish for gravy in Italy. The traditional Italian-American dish with red gravy (or sauce) is based on Neapolitan ragu made with meat, tomato, and onion that’s commonly served with pasta. If you visit Naples, you won’t find the word “gravy” on any menus.
    Sauce is the more common term. The word makes sense, as it directly translates to "SALSA", which Italians use more often.
    “We don’t have a ‘gravy,’” Franca Riccardi, the director of language and culture programs at the America-Italy Society
    I thought she might be familiar with the term. Instead, she said"SALSA" is best for a tomato-based sauce.
    If you use meat or other condiments, you should say “sugo” or “ragu.”

    • @Southernbite
      @Southernbite  3 роки тому +1

      If the skillet is seasoned properly, something that cooks quickly, like this gravy, should be fine. Though some say it's safe regardless, I still avoid cooking anything acidic in my favorite skillets for an extended period of time.

    • @Thesparten45
