Over-Salty Gravy

[chokkie]

I've just made a garlic and anchovy gravy as part of tomorrow's dinner.. it needs a little thickening up, but I'll sort that when it gets heated up again tomorrow. However, it is quite salt (think I put in too many anchovies) ... any ideas of how I can temper the saltiness, please? Do you think the thickening up process might make it a little less salty .... any thoughts, AB chefs out there? Cheers, Chox.

Chop up a small potato and add that

Add some lemon juice?

Just add cornflour with water, it'll thicken gravy for sure and the more water you add the less salty it'll be.

I did boil up some potatoes (twice actually) and it was still rather salty. Added a bit of water, which helped a little, but then added a bit of cream - and the end result was a really nice sauce for barbecued duck breasts ... so thanks folks, for all your suggestions.
