Free. No account needed.
Method
Heat the pan with the cooked onions until hot.
Deglaze the pan with a glug of red wine and reduce until the wine has evaporated.
Add 100 ml chicken stock to the pan and let it reduce.
Pour the hot liquid from the pan over the flour in the small jar to form a smooth paste.
Stir the paste back into the pan, allowing the gravy to thicken; it may be slightly lumpy from the onions.
