Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. The mixture should be smooth and golden.

Step 4

Add the canned diced tomatoes with their juice to the saucepan. Stir to combine with the roux.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. The gravy should thicken to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

Step 9

(Optional) Garnish the finished tomato gravy with chopped fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot over biscuits, rice, mashed potatoes, or as a flavorful sauce for meats and vegetables.
