Default Two things

One: How do you make a nice country gravy?

Two: Are there any tips to make my risotto "stand out"?

Cool

OK, gravy is not my strong suit, but for the risotto, try sauteeing some multi colored bell peppers (brunoise of course) with the arborio. It might help a little.

Default I have heard it called "speckled gravy".

I make my country gravy with breakfast sausage, bacon fat, flour, milk, and season it with black pepper, dry sage, onion powder, garlic, a little tabasco and a little worcestershire sauce.

Hey peachcreek, a little trick I learned while in Atlanta, add a splash of coffee to your gravy. It really helps to accent the sage. Be careful though, just a splash or two will do it as you don't want to taste the coffee.
