Onion gravy to die for
This is the best recipe I've ever managed to create for onion gravy. Easy to make, full of flavour and delicious with sausages or toad-in-the-hole.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1 generous knob butter
- 2 large red or white onions, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 generous pinch dried thyme
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 300ml (1/2 pt) strong beef stock

- Melt the butter in a large pan, one that has a lid. Add onions and garlic. Cover and sweat the onions and garlic for around 20 minutes, until well softened and slightly caremelised. Season with salt and pepper, and the dried thyme.
- Turn the heat up, add the balsamic vinegar, and cook until well reduced.
- Add the hot beef stock, bring to the boil then reduce the heat, and simmer for as long as you like - it will keep over a low simmer until you need it.
- Check and adjust seasoning, and serve in a warm jug.
Tip
You could also add some finely chopped rosemary in moderation, or use fresh thyme - it's up to you.

I’ve just made it and followed the recipe carefully.... too much balsamic taste for my liking, I hope it’s better by the time I serve it this evening. - 08 Dec 2017
