Onion Gravy
Ingredients
- 600ml Boiling water (use the water from the onions)
- 1 Beef stock cube, I use Oxo
- 250ml semi skimmed milk
- Bisto gravy granules
- Dash of Tabasco sauce
- Dash of Worcester sauce
- Black pepper
- Squirt of Marmite
- Pinch of garlic granules
Method
- 1 medium onion, peeled and roughly chopped, add to a saucepan with 250ml water, bring to a boil then simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the onion is transparent.
- Take 600ml of boiling water (including the liquid from the onions) and pour into a saucepan, keep on a low heat
- Crumble a good beef stock cube into the water and stir
- Add a good half cup of semi skimmed milk (this gives a lovely creamy texture)
- Now add a splash or two of Worcestershire sauce
- Do the same with some Tabasco sauce
- Add good squirt of Marmite or Vegemite
- Add a small pinch of garlic granules
- Finally add a good helping of freshly ground black pepper
- Turn the heat up and sprinkle in some gravy granules to thicken
- Use a balloon whisk to stir, until it comes to the boil, turn down the heat to minimum and leave to simmer for a few minutes, stirring now and then. This gives it time for all the flavours to amalgamate.
Equipment
- Medium size saucepan
