Calories: 251kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup fat (meat drippings, butter, dairy-free butter, or olive oil)
- 2 medium white onions , diced
- Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1-3 teaspoons dried seasoning (poultry seasoning or dried herbs)
- 4 cups gluten-free stock (chicken, beef, or vegetable)

Optionally:
- Worcestershire sauce , to taste (omit for vegetarian and vegan)
- ¼ cup brandy or wine (white or red)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- In a large sauté pan cook the fat and the onions over medium low heat until the onions begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Do not rush this step; you want the onions well cooked.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon of whatever seasoning or dried herbs you are using. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Combine ¼ cup of stock with the starch and stir well. Add the remaining stock to the pan, raise the heat, and bring to a boil.
- Stir in the starch and stock mixture and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 1 minute. If using brandy or wine, stir it in now.
- Add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce if desired.
- Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, seasoning, or herbs to taste. The gravy should be well seasoned.
- Stir in the cream now if using.
- Serve hot.
