| 1 cup | low sodium chicken stock |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| 1/4 cup | white wine |
| 1/4 cup | water |
| 1 tsp | fresh rosemary leaves |
| fresh ground black pepper (to taste) | |
| 1 Tbsp | light spread (like Promise Buttery Spread Light or Smart Balance Light) |
| 2 tsp | all purpose white flour |
Place the chicken stock, salt, white wine, water, fresh rosemary and pepper in a stainless steel or non-reactive sauce pan over medium heat.
Bring to a boil and reduce the heat until the liquid is simmering. Cook for about 20 - 30 minutes until reduced by half.
In a second sauce pan melt the spread over low-medium heat and then add the flour. Whisk together over low-medium heat. After cooking for about two minutes strain the liquid to remove the rosemary into the pan with the roux whisking continuously.
As the gravy thickens reduce the heat to low and simmer for about ten minutes whisking frequently.

The refrigerator light goes on...
Stirring the spread and flour together carefully is the key to this recipe and many that require a roux. By using less fat the flour can clump together but whisking the liquid into the roux slowly works great. Rich creamy gravy for your Mashed Yams!
