re: Cajun rice and gravy thread

My mom drains off the grease, but it used to cook down everything in the pot until it all sticks. Basically it creates a fond of epic proportions. It's like frying all of the drippings, or continuing to brown the drippings past the point where most people take it.

Once everything is stuck to the pot the grease is discarded, but it's shocking to see. Very rich flavored and about the thinnest gravy you've ever seen. But holy jeebus it's good.
