rice and gravy
Starchy bed, sauce
Rice and gravy is a staple of Southern American cooking, particularly Louisiana cuisine—plain white rice topped with meat drippings or pan gravy.
The dish serves as a simple weeknight meal or accompaniment to roasted meats.
We had rice and gravy with the roast chicken.
