Instructions

Peel the onions and cut into thin wedges – or blitz in a food processor.
Heat the oil in the saucepan and sauté the onions over a gentle heat. Stir occasionally for about 10 minutes until soft and starting to caramelise.
Add the rosemary, stock, soya sauce and brown sugar. Add any options from the list now.
Simmer the gravy for a further 5-7 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
