Thickening sauces

Hi
I've made a sausage casserole today but the gravy is quite runny. What do you think the best thing to thicken it with, would be?
Thanks in advance
 
Hi

Ooops ok :eek: , im afraid thick gravy is one of my down falls so if you find anything out that would be great :)

My sisters uses cornflour to thicken her sauces. It's 3.5syns for a tablespoon :)
 
Yeah i always use lots n lots of cornflour but its not worth the syns so will be trying the instant mash when i join :)

Is the instant mash any good ?? does it clog together ?? :confused:

I've never heard of this instant mash before, what brand is it? Where do you buy it?

The sainsburys value instant mash is about 20p or something for a big bag and you only need a couple of spoonfuls to thicken things with it. I have used it for soups and stews and it works perfectly. Sprinkle it over, stir, see how things are, sprinkle a bit more over, win. Wont be free on red but for EE and Green is an excellent syn free substitute for cornflour.
 
On red days I use cauliflower to thicken sauces by mixing cooked cauliflower in with your basic sauce and whizzing in the blender.
 
Thanks everyone :D
