Onion gravy-game changer

Oh my goodness!
Just made it from scratch for the first time ever. Why have I never done this before?
Took my plain old sausage and mash to a whole new level.
Anything else I've been missing out on?

Can you describe the ‘from scratch’ bit. My family is gravy obsessed but we lean on the powders/granules...

I made it from scratch years ago using Delia's methods. I remember Worcestershire sauce and mustard powder. Nice but a faff.

I’d also say that the stockpots give a more home-made taste than the cubes.
Just my opinion, if you love stock cubes feel free to ignore!

Balsamic vinegar really adds something too.

My dad makes this with veggie stock. It's amazing.

I prefer onion sauce with sausage and mash. In fact, I like a little bit of sausage & mash with a bucket of onion sauce!

Would it be weird to have sausage and mash every night and try all these suggestions? Grin

I made this the other day as I was on leave from work so I thought I'd make my own onion gravy instead of dissolving granules in hot water.

It turned out a very unappetizing light brown (not the dark brown of granules) and DD said she prefers the granules and begged me not to make it again. 🙄

@BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou onion sauce?

I make mine by softening and browning chopped onions in one oz butter, then add an oz of flour making a roux, then blend in a pint of milk and simmer until the consistency of double cream.
