Best Keto Christmas Onion Gravy
How to Make It
Step 1
Finely dice the onions. Add the butter and oil to a pan set over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onions and reduce the heat to low. Saute for 15-20 minutes until the onions are soft and caramelized. Stir intermittently to prevent from burning. Add the thyme sprigs
Step 2
Add the bay leaf and apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan. Stir well and saute for a couple of minutes.
Step 3
Add the red wine to further deglaze the pan. Turn the heat up to medium. Add the vegetable stock, black pepper, dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce (optional) and bring to a gentle simmer for 3 minutes for the flavors to amalgamate.
Step 4
Remove the pan from the heat. Transfer the gravy to a blender. Blitz on high until a smooth consistency.
Step 5
Return the gravy to the pan and set it over medium-low heat. Taste for seasoning. If your stock does not contain salt, you may wish to add ¼ teaspoon or, to your taste. If the gravy is too thick, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time to loosen it to your preference. Whisk well before transferring to a gravy boat before serving.
