Method

  1. 1

    Heat the pan with the cooked onions until hot.

  2. 2

    Deglaze the pan with a glug of red wine and reduce until the wine has evaporated.

  3. 3

    Add 100 ml chicken stock to the pan and let it reduce.

  4. 4

    Pour the hot liquid from the pan over the flour in the small jar to form a smooth paste.

  5. 5

    Stir the paste back into the pan, allowing the gravy to thicken; it may be slightly lumpy from the onions.
