Saltless Gravy

[frostyspecs]

Do any members have a recipe for a little salt meat gravy. I cannot stand Bovril,Oxo,Knorr etc since having heart bypass surgery

Many delicatessens stock low salt 'gravy salt', or you can buy it online here:

Or, if you're feeling adventurous, you could try instant coffee! No, I'm not joking, this website says it works!:

(The only problem with that recipe is I'm not too sure where you get 'Low Sodium Beef Bouillon'. Maybe a health food shop?).

Although you ask for a meat recipe, a veggie alternative might taste as good:

(Once again, though, there might be a problem with ingredients. Perhaps health food shops might stock low-sodium soy sauce?)

Here's another possibility:

(However, yet again, the question of where to obtain salt-free ingredients arises).

I'm not sure whether I've helped or not. You probably won't know either, until you've investigated what your local delicatessens and health food shops have to offer. At least I tried!

I have just got Bistos gravy with reduced salt at Morrisons supermarket ,It has a blue top instead of the red. Hope this helps.g.Sorry should have said got it last week at my weekly buy.

Can I suggest you use vegetable stock (reserved from cooking your carrots etc) cornflour and a touch of old fashioned gravy browning! (Juice from meat cooking could be used but you are probably not able to have it!)
