Onion Sauce

(1 Portion)

• Ingredients
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 Tbsp oil/fat
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • 150 mL water
  • 1/8 tsp salt (or to taste)
• Instructions
  • Chop onions and place in pot with oil. I just chop them into small pieces, but some people like to chop them into rings instead. Do whatever you want (within limits). (Image)
  • Fry onions on medium heat for 35-45 minutes. Do not be tempted to turn up the heat - it is necessary to fry them very slowly in order for them to turn brown properly instead of just burning. In fact, you may need to turn down the heat a bit after a while. You only need to stir occasionally, though, so this is something that can be done while reading a book or doing something else.

  • Add flour and stir until it is mixed well with the onions. (Image)
  • Add water and salt and stir well. (Image)
  • Boil/simmer on medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until it has reached the desired thickness.
  • Optionally blend it with an immersion blender. I haven't actually done this yet because I like the onion pieces, but some people do it.
