Every Meal Is Improved by This Rich Caramelized Onion Gravy Recipe
Recommended for you
With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up (hooray!), it’s time to start gathering some recipes for the perfect family feast. A must-have for both occasions is a really good gravy — it helps to tie together all your different dishes into one cohesive meal. A traditional gravy is made with meat juices, but if you’re after a vegetarian version, or you’re just not cooking a joint of meat, this caramelized onion gravy is a seriously tasty alternative.
Ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 3 onions
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon flour
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or oregano
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions:
1. Peel and halve the onions, and thinly slice.
2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, and add the onions. Cook over a medium-low heat, stirring regularly, until very soft and browned — at least 20 minutes. Add the sugar and balsamic vinegar, and cook for a further 5 minutes.
3. Add the flour to the caramelized onions, and mix well. Then add the vegetable stock and dried herbs, and mix to combine. Bring to a simmer, and cook for a couple more minutes. Season to taste, and serve warm.
