Onion gravy

Onion Gravy is a type of gravy made from onion, stock, and various seasonings. It is a popular accompaniment to many dishes, particularly those of British cuisine.

History

The origins of onion gravy are unclear, but it has been a staple of British cuisine for centuries. It is often served with traditional dishes such as bangers and mash and toad in the hole.

Preparation

To prepare onion gravy, onions are first sautéed until they are caramelized. This process brings out the natural sweetness of the onions and gives the gravy its distinctive flavor. The caramelized onions are then combined with stock, usually beef stock or chicken stock, and simmered until the flavors are well combined. Seasonings such as salt, pepper, and herbs may be added to taste.

Variations

There are many variations of onion gravy, depending on the region and personal preference. Some recipes may include wine, beer, or vinegar for added flavor. Others may use different types of onions, such as red onions or shallots, or add additional ingredients like garlic or mushrooms.

Serving

Onion gravy is typically served hot, poured over the main dish. It is a common accompaniment to roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, and mashed potatoes. In addition to traditional British dishes, it can also be used in modern recipes and fusion cuisine.
