Gravy to go with Chicken Croquettes?

  1. A veloute with chicken stock. Simply a roux with good chicken stock whisked in. Bring to boil and it will thicken and reduce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    1. Does she eat a mayo-based sauce, like a tartar sauce? I think of croquettes as summery and light, so I'd consider mayo, diced shallots, dill and lemon.

      Another option would be to saute mushrooms and shallots, deglaze with wine or sherry, and add a slurry with broth to thicken.

      1. Thank you both. I am out of my homemade chicken stock right now, so will resort to using broth and maybe a bit of wine to make my gravy. They both like shallots and mushrooms, so that is also a good idea for an addition. Thanks!
