Recipe: Brown Gravy

Ingredients:

1 TBSP. olive oil

2 small Spanish onions, sliced or diced

5 TBSP. unsalted butter

3 TBSP. all-purpose flour

1 TSP. chopped fresh rosemary

1 TSP. chopped fresh thyme

1 TSP. chopped garlic

2 cups chicken stock or water

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Heat the olive oil over medium flame and sauté the onions for 10 to 15 minutes, until well browned. (For lighter gravy, cook for about 8 minutes.)

2. Add the butter. Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until toasted to a nice deep brown.

3. Add the herbs and garlic.

4. Slowly whisk in the stock and simmer over medium heat until the gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
