Good Gravy

[sueg]

this is from 'laurel's kitchen', with very small variations. use either vegetable or chicken stock, as you prefer:

1/4 cup flour
1 small onion, chopped
1 whole clove garlic (or more to taste)
1-2 tbsp oil
1 cup stock
salt/pepper
1/2 tsp marjoram

toast and stir the flour in a dry pan until it is quite brown. remove from pan and saute the onion and garlic in oil on med-low heat, until done. mash the garlic with a fork. stir in toasted flour, then stock. bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes, then add the seasonings. thin with water or stock if desired.

makes 1-2 cups of gravy
total points for recipe: 5.3-8.3 (depending on how much oil you use)
flour: 1.3 points
onion/garlic: 0
oil: 3-6
stock: 1

You have counted the flour too high. According to the WW booklet, 3 Tablespoons are only 1 point. 1/4 c. or 4 Tablespoons would be barely over. In fact, I wouldn't even count it higher in this instance.

Also, oil is 3 points per tablespoon, so the total count would be 3-6.

thanks annette - i did count the flour too high, but my supermarket guide puts canola oil (the kind i use) as 4 pts/tbsp. i guess i just put it without thinking.

i've fixed it now - thanks!
