Notes
- If you wanted to make a really simple onion gravy, then you could caramelise your own onions and then add gravy granules and water. It's an easy way to jazz up gravy granules and make it feel a bit more homemade.
- For some extra flavour, you could add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the gravy.
- We love how chunky this onion gravy is. If you prefer a smoother texture, you could either dice the onions, instead of slicing, or you could blend the gravy once it is cooked.
- Make sure you cook the onions low and slow. This does add to the cooking time, but it caramelises the onions and really does give an intense flavour.
- Turn the heat right down before adding the flour, this is so that it doesn't burn.
- We haven't added any salt, because it is already in the stock and Worcestershire sauce. However, once it is cooked, taste it and add salt if you think it needs more. Remember, you can always add it but you can't take it out.
- For some extra richness, you can add a splash of single cream before serving.
- For some added flavour, a spoonful of cranberry sauce works really well.
