Ingredients

3 ea Onion Medium, Peeled, sliced very thinly
6 tbsp butter Alt Vegetable Oil
1 tbsp Flour AP
2 Cup Stock Chicken, Beef, Veggie, Mushroom
1 tsp Miso paste or Worchestershire
1/2 cup Red Wine optional

Instructions

Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in the melted butter until softened
Drop heat to low, cover and cook until the onions have caramelized, this can take 30 minutes depending on the pan, the stove and the onions. Check and stir occasionally
Add the flour, cook for 1-2 minutes, whilst stirring to coat the flour with butter and cook off the raw flavor
Add the stock, wine, miso and stir well to blend, simmer to reduce.
Taste, season and balance flavor

Notes

Again a general process, one can use red onions, white onions, yellow onions, or sweet onions.

If one is to serve over say beef liver, I'd use a beef stock, for pork (bangers and mash), i'd use a chicken stock.

One can add 8 oz of mushrooms along with the onions and use a mushroom stock to produce a steller mushroom gravy .

To hasten the caramelization process a 1/2 tsp of baking soda will bump the ph and the browning.

Various dried herbs can be added to enhance specific flavors, (sage for pork, rosemary for beef, etc)
