If you've only known gravy to come from giblets and a roux (or a can), then you haven't known all the delicious variations of gravy there can be. One the most rich and flavorful is mushroom, where that umami touch just brings depth beyond the palate's wildest dreams. Add in some fresh chives and you've got a gravy that puts the can to shame. (We know you've never done giblets and a roux… only Grandma did that!) Tip: To peel the carrot with less effort, lay it down on your cutting board peel one half, rolling it as you peel. (Be sure to peel in a motion away from you!)
