EASY ONION GRAVY



Easy onion gravy image

Add this simple onion gravy recipe to your repertoire. It's the perfect accompaniment to sausages and roasts with the deep flavours of beef stock, red wine and herbs

Provided by Elena Silcock

Categories     Condiment

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

25g butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs of thyme
4 onions, sliced (red or white, or a mixture)
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp flour
200ml red wine
2 tsp red wine vinegar
500ml beef stock (or vegetable stock)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the bay leaf and thyme and cook for a min to infuse the flavours of the herbs. Add the onions and coat well in the butter and oil, sprinkle over the sugar and a big pinch of salt and slowly cook the onions down for 45-50 mins, stirring occasionally until sticky and caramelised.
  • Add the flour and stir well, coating all of the onions. Cook for a min then add the wine and vinegar, turn up the heat and reduce by half, so about 2 mins, whisking a little to ensure the flour doesn't lump at all. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil and cook for 6-8 mins, until the gravy is thick enough to coat the back of spoon. If you cook it a bit too much and it gets too thick, add a splash of water. Season well and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beef stock. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the gravy. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use a store-bought stock. Just be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the onions. If you do, they will steam instead of caramelize. Cook the onions in batches if necessary.
  • Be patient when caramelizing the onions. It takes time for the onions to develop their full flavor. Don't rush the process or you will end up with bitter, burnt onions.
  • Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or red wine to the gravy. This will add a nice depth of flavor.
  • Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary.

Conclusion:

Sticky onion gravy is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be served with a variety of dishes. It is perfect for beef, pork, chicken, or fish. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for vegetables or bread. No matter how you serve it, sticky onion gravy is sure to be a hit!
