Onion Gravy

Recipes »  Marinades and Sauces  »  Sauce

A thick onion gravy for your sausages and mash, faggots, shepherds pie in fact endless uses.

Long slow cooking is the key to this dish, an hour, even two. Slow cooking gives you the colour and taste you want.

400 milliliterschicken or beef stock
100 millilitersred wine; bitter or Madeira
75 gramsButter
2 teaspoonsFrench mustard; (optional)

1 amountSalt and black pepper; as required

Onion Gravy Preparation

Melt the butter in a heavy pan and cook the onion on the hob for 20 minutes, stirring frequently until soft

Turn the heat down low, do not cover the pan and cook until the onions are brown, this should take around 1 hour or more, dont rush it, leave them cooking and read the paper! The long, slow cooking gives the depth of taste and colour to the gravy

Add the stock and, if using, the booze, Worcestershire sauce and mustard

Bring the gravy to the simmer for a further 30 to 40 minutes, stirring frequently, check the seasoning and serve
