Final Seasoning and Serving
Sauté 8 oz of sliced cremini mushrooms with the onions until they release their liquid and begin to brown. Then, proceed with the recipe as directed.
Add 1 teaspoon of fresh, chopped rosemary or sage along with the dried thyme for a more aromatic, woodsy flavor.
For a richer, smoother finish, stir in 2-3 tablespoons of heavy cream or a knob of cold butter at the very end, after removing the gravy from the heat.
Onions are rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which helps combat inflammation and may protect against chronic diseases.

One serving (approximately 3/4 cup) of this onion gravy contains about 132 calories. This can vary slightly based on the specific ingredients used, such as the type of butter and broth.
Onion gravy can be part of a balanced meal when consumed in moderation. It contains onions, which offer vitamins and antioxidants. However, it is also made with butter and flour and can be high in sodium. Using low-sodium broth and unsalted butter can make it a healthier choice.
Yes, you can. Instead of all-purpose flour, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Alternatively, you can omit the flour and make a slurry with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons of cold water. Whisk the slurry into the simmering broth and cook until thickened.
Lumps usually form when the liquid is added too quickly to the flour-fat mixture (roux). To prevent lumps, add the broth very gradually at first while whisking constantly. If you still get lumps, you can strain the gravy or use an immersion blender to smooth it out.
Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It will thicken considerably when chilled. Reheat it gently in a saucepan over low heat, whisking frequently. You may need to add a splash of broth or water to thin it to the desired consistency.
