About Onion gravy

Onion gravy is a flavorful sauce made primarily from caramelized onions, broth, flour, and seasonings. Originating from traditional British cuisine, it's a staple accompaniment for dishes like roasts, sausages, and mashed potatoes. The key ingredient, onions, provides a natural sweetness and is a source of antioxidants, vitamins, and dietary fiber. Onion gravy is often prepared using beef or vegetable stock, and flour is used as a thickener. While the natural components of the gravy, like onions, support heart health and digestion, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation methods. Versions made with butter, cream, or high-sodium stocks may contribute to an increased calorie and sodium content. Opting for low-sodium broth and minimal added fats can make onion gravy a healthier choice. Versatile and satisfying, it balances the richness of many comfort foods while complementing their flavors.
