Onion gravy

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make onion gravy? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use sour cream of any fat content, I have 15% fat content. I do not recommend replacing butter with margarine. It is the butter that gives the creamy flavor, and margarine will add unwanted notes. Spices and seasonings can be anything (dry or fresh), they can be combined and changed in different ways, each time getting a new taste of the sauce. This time I had paprika and black pepper.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the onion and rinse in running water to remove dirt. Then finely chop the peeled onion. To avoid irritating the mucous membranes of your eyes when cutting onions, rinse the onion and knife with cold water. The cutting board will not absorb the unpleasant onion smell if you rub it with a slice of lemon before cutting.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the frying pan on the fire and heat it up. Place a piece of butter and wait for it to melt.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add chopped onion to melted butter and mix everything. Fry the onion over low heat for 6-8 minutes. Keep an eye on the onions so they don't start to burn. Burnt onions will spoil the entire taste and aroma of the gravy.

5. STEP 5

   

   During frying, the onion will become more transparent. Add flour to the onion. Sprinkle with salt, ground pepper and paprika. The set of spices is approximate. You can change or add anything in the spices to your taste. Mix everything.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour hot water into the pan and bring to a boil, stirring. Adjust the amount of liquid to your taste, you can add a little more or a little less, focus on how much gravy and what consistency you want to get. Please also note that the gravy can be reduced for greater thickness over low heat. Experiment!

7. STEP 7

   

   Then add sour cream. Stir and heat over heat for a couple more minutes. The added flour makes the gravy thicker.

8. STEP 8

   

   Delicious onion gravy is ready! It can be added to any side dish or meat dish.

9. STEP 9

   

   This onion sauce goes great with fried chicken and spaghetti. Bon appetit!

I prepared onion gravy in addition to stewed potatoes; the spices I chose were ground pepper and dried oregano. I liked serving the gravy hot better. A good, easy recipe made from affordable ingredients, quick to prepare, I recommend it 😉
