Make the gravy
- Meanwhile, in a small pot, bring 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P to a boil; reduce to a simmer.
- Add the flour and whisk, 1 to 2 min., until a paste forms.
- Add the demi-glace, 1 cup water (double for 4 portions), the peas and S&P; bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring often, 2 to 4 min., until thickened.
Make the salad
