Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 small shallot diced small
1 tsp coarsely ground pepper (more if you like your gravy peppery)
1/2 cup white wine
1 or 2 cups chicken broth
1 or 2cups beef broth
2 to 3 tsp flour or cornstarch (mixed in a slurry)

Directions:
Directions:
Place shallots pepper and wine in a sauce pan on med high heat. Reduce by 1/2.
Add chicken and beef stock and reduce by 1/2.
Strain mixture and return to pan, bring to a boil and add slurry.
Simmer until thickened.
I sometimes add some "Velotine" to the slurry. This is a flavour enhancer and helps to darken the gravy. As well I sometimes at the end add a "splash" of heavy (35%) cream which adds a smoothness to the gravy.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
As I may have mentioned. Amma and my Mom were magical at making gravy. I swear Amma could, and did, make gravy to go on anything. I added this recipe because I always enjoy gravy with many foods. This is a twist on French Canadian "Poutine" gravy. It beats the canned or packaged gavies and only takes about 10 minutes longer to prepare. I often use it on BBQ steak etc. to supplement the lake of a pan sauce.
