Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the sliced onions and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and starting to caramelize.
Step 3
Sprinkle the whole wheat flour over the onions and stir well to coat the onions evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the low-sodium vegetable broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the balsamic vinegar, chopped fresh thyme, black pepper, and salt.
Step 6
Simmer the gravy for another 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot over your favorite dish.
