I love what tomato sauce (gravy in my home:) does to meats. Pork, beef, poultry all take on a different flavor when cooked in tomato gravy. Today I made braised chicken thighs in a wonderful homemade gravy. It's sitting in the pot now and the smell across the kitchen and throughout the house is mesmerizing!
