Onion gravy is easy to make, tastes delicious and goes with lots of savoury dishes. Making onion gravy is incredibly easy - you just need an onion, some beef stock made from bouillon cubes, and about twenty minutes.

Good video..straight to the point no drama no life stories and good results.

Just a suggestion- try using 3 onions sliced thinly, butter, a lower heat and about an hour to caramelise onions. I can't help thinking your onions looked burnt rather than caramelised.

Everything I've tried from you has worked! Just the cooking I love - just watching how you cook, seeing how the gravy is made just improved my onion gravy skills immensely. I live in Germany, so used this for pork chop with potato dumplings (Kartoffelknödel) - just perfect. I saved the rest for my tomorrow's sausage & mash.

Adding a teaspoon of sugar to the onions whilst frying will help them brown but don’t fry on high heat to avoid burning, medium heat will be fine it just takes a few minutes longer. Good video.

As a single person I normally use Gravy Granules. But it depends what I am having to eat. Sausages I cook at the same time as the Onions until the sausages are cooked. Then I remove them so I can then make proper Gravy in the Frying Pan afterwards. Sausages, Mashed Potatoes, Marrow Fat Peas and Onion Gravy. What could be better?

@@jameshallworth6034 I add the onion powder around the same time as the pepper..Until it has that great lots of onion taste. The corn starch is a little bit goes a long way so its last and very little at a time as it will turn to thick if to much and need water to thin out...

@wolfman011000 4 жыл бұрын

Rather than use flour to thicken the gravy i out and out cheat by using onion gravy granules, just the cheap asda own label type. Another short cut i use is caramalizing onions 5kg fine diced at a time (mandolin mind your fingers), yep takes ages about 2 to 2.5 hrs to do it properly. I then add enough veg stock to get it loose enough to ladel into ice cube trays and freeze, later take the cubes and put them in ziploc bags and just take cubes as needed. Or just ladel into a small ziploc and lay flat to freeze then stack em. Thanks for the video take care and god bless.

I think someone else has made this suggestion, that the onions aren't really caramelised. Yes, get a good deep colour on one side (don't stir them) THEN add a big glug of cold water and stir around until the water has evaporated. Then leave the onions to char again and repeat two times. Will end up with proper caramelisation and a darker gravy ! tada !

Thank you for this sir. What do you think about me using butter instead of oil, what impact would that have? If I was to follow the suggestions of Mike (below) and use cornstarch to thicken it up ( I like thick gravy ) when might i add that? And indeed, the onion powder he suggested for extra onion-ey goodness. I'm a subcriber. Thank you good man.

@Keefcooks 4 жыл бұрын

Crikey, this is an old video! Yes, butter would be fine. You can use cornstarch instead of flour, sifting it in as the onions are cooking. Add onion powder towards the end of cooking.

I tend not to use olive oil in cooking, especially in traditional north European dishes. Olive oil is brilliant in/on Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food. It's not great to cook in because it turns in trans fats. Not good.

@Beruthiel45 3 жыл бұрын

For those reading this six years later, oxo is available in Canada as of the date of this post.(June 2021) Been buying it for years, comes in beef or chicken or veggie flavours. I think they changed whatever it was in the original to which our government wallahs objected. They got all picky about a certain chemical used to colour foods and cancelled a heap of British goodies. Some came back after adapting their ingredients. Yay. 😊👍 Imagine. No HP sauce or a whole lot of other stuff, just because of a flipping colourant. 🙄 If they'd cancelled Bird's custard I think there'd have been a revolution. Don't worry, it's still on the grocery shelves.
