Gluten Free Onion Gravy
This gluten free onion gravy is so delicious that you'll find yourself wanting to pour it over everything! It's got a rich flavour, no additives and it's very easy to make.
Equipment
- saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 onions peeled and very finely sliced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 15 g butter
- 1 bay leaf
- 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon cornflour
- 500 ml stock
Instructions
- Place a pan over a low heat and add the olive oil and butter. Add the thyme and bay leaf and fry for a couple of minutes to bring out the flavour.
- Add the sliced onions to the pan along with a pinch of salt. Stir well, then leave on a low heat for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally. The onions will start to caramelise - they should be a rich dark brown, but don't allow them to blacken as they'll start to taste bitter.
- Stir the cornflour into a couple of tablespoons of cold water in a small cup or bowl.
- Add the stock to the onions, then stir in the cornflour slurry. Bring up to the boil and simmer for a minute. The gravy will thicken.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Remove the bay leaf and any large stems of thyme.
Notes
- Use whichever stock you prefer for this recipe. You can use a vegetable stock cube or chicken or beef stock. Check the label to ensure your stock is gluten free.
- Take care if you want to use additional seasonings such as Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce as they often contain gluten.
- If you like your gravy quite thick, you can add an extra teaspoon of cornflour (remember to always add the cornflour to cold liquid first!)
