White Gravy is a simple 20-minute gravy made from milk. Add some green peas, and it is tasty over fish, pork or chicken. Or add sausage and more pepper for old-fashioned sausage gravy.
White Gravy with Peas is tasty over salmon patties.
White Gravy (AKA "Milk Gravy") - a versatile gravy you should learn to make
When my mom made Salmon Patties or a Salmon Loaf for supper, she always made White Gravy with Green Peas, which was really a milk gravy with peas in it. She was fond of milk gravy—she called it White Gravy—and made it to put over pork chops, too, but then she didn't put peas in it (although that would be good, too). She fried onions and added the milk gravy to the onions and served it over Sautéed Pork Chops. It's yummy.
My Southern husband, Don, makes an amazing Sausage Gravy made similarly. It's made exactly the same way, except you fry ground sausage, drain some of the fat off, and make the white gravy with the drippings. Add the sausage back in, season with salt and pepper, and eat over biscuits. Good ole "country gravy."
