Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 4 medium onions (or two large), finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 rosemary or thyme sprigs, or bay leaves
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 600ml beef or vegetable stock
  • a few dashes of worcestershire sauce (or vegetarian alternative)
  • 1 tsp english mustard

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onions with a pinch of salt for 40 minutes, stirring frequently, until deeply golden and caramelised. Add a splash of water if the onions start to catch. It will take a while for the onions to caramelise but keep adding a few splashes of water at the start of cooking to help speed up the process.

  • STEP 2

    Stir in the vinegar, garlic and herbs, fry for another minute, then sprinkle over the flour and stir until it has dissolved. Pour over the stock, a little at a time, stirring to prevent any lumps of flour. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the gravy is thickened to your liking. Season with salt, pepper and a few dashes of worcestershire sauce and the mustard.
