Caramelized Gravy on Poutine

CARAMELIZED ONION GRAVY

This Caramelized Onion Gravy is a rich, savoury sauce with a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavours.

It begins with a combination of Derlea Diced Onion and Derlea Caramelized Onion in butter, creating a deep and layered flavour.  The addition of stock, and aromatics continue to bring this flavourful gravy to life. The final sauce is a velvety, full-bodied gravy that’s perfect for drizzling over proteins, mashed potatoes, meatloaf, fries, or vegetables for an extra burst of flavor.
