Onion Gravy
A comforting and flavorful onion gravy that pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, roast meats, and more.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 large large onions, sliced Onions are the stars of this dish, providing the sweet, caramelized flavor we crave.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil This helps to cook the onions gently, allowing them to soften beautifully.
- 1 tablespoon butter Adds a rich, creamy texture and flavor that makes everything better.
- 1 tablespoon mustard A little kick to balance the sweetness of the onions.
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped Herbaceous notes that truly elevate the gravy.
- Salt and pepper to taste Essential for enhancing all the flavors.
- 2 cups vegetable or beef broth This forms the base of our gravy, bringing everything together.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté until they become soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
- Once the onions are beautifully caramelized, stir in the mustard and fresh thyme.
- Pour in the broth and let the mixture simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
- Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm.
Notes
Use fresh thyme whenever possible; it makes a difference! Don’t rush the caramelization—allow those onions to develop their sweetness. Store any leftover onion gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, just warm it up gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if it thickens too much.
