Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Heat the vegetable oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. |
| 2. | Add the thinly sliced onions to the saucepan and sautรฉ until they turn golden brown, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. |
| 3. | Sprinkle the plain flour over the onions and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for an additional 2-3 minutes. This helps to thicken the gravy and gives it a rich texture. |
| 4. | Gradually pour in the vegetable or chicken stock, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Add the mixed herbs and Worcestershire sauce to the saucepan. |
| 5. | Cook the gravy until it thickens to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. |
| 6. | Once the gravy has thickened, partially cover the saucepan with a lid and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and develop further. Stir the gravy occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. |
| 7. | After simmering, taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt, pepper, or Worcestershire sauce according to your preference. |
| 8. | Once the gravy is done, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving. It will thicken slightly as it cools. |
| 9. | Serve the onion gravy warm alongside your favorite sausages, poultry, or game birds. It’s also delicious drizzled over mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. Enjoy! |
