Can This Dish Be Saved?
- Added too much salt? Balance it out with a sweet ingredient like honey or sugar.
- If the dish is too rich or fatty, a splash of vinegar or citrus will cut through the heaviness.
- Too spicy? Try adding lemon, lime, orange juice or a splash of vinegar — just remember, a little goes a long way. Taste as you go for the perfect adjustment.
- If your cream sauce separates, don’t panic! A few spoonfuls of warm water can help balance the fat and bring it back together.
- For broken gravy, make a roux with one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of flour in a fresh pan. Slowly whisk in the broken gravy, a little at a time, until it’s smooth and fully incorporated.
