I make gravy with onions, garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, kitchen bouquet, and cauliflower--no oil, butter, or thickener. I caramelize onions in a dry pan, adding 1 T of water now and then if they begin to stick. Separately, I boil cauliflower and garlic until very soft. Then, I blend them all together with a little cooking liquid. It is amazingly creamy. Plus, it gives you a good dose of vegetables without the vegetable taste. However, everyone loves it without knowing it's a healthful, fiber-filled, and fat-free serving of vegetables. I also use this technique to make beefless stew, which everyone raves about.

@@tweetyb421 yes, Tweety! You can caramelize them till they are a rich brown color. Ready for onion soup or other uses. There a a lot of recipes online.

If your family smells that good food, it might be best to incorporate some of the onions into dinner.

I have a tip for you for caramelizing onions that my Nanny taught me. If you add 1/4 cup of water at the beginning, heat on low, then cut out a piece of parchment that's the size of your pan opening with a small hole cut in the center. Lay it on top of the onions & cook. They will cook faster & only have to stir them a few times. For those who don't know Nanny is another name for Grandma, my mom's mom. She was French & an AMAZING cook.

What a great idea! I adore very dark, carmelized onions, and I often caramelize them in huge batches, then I purée them and put them in a large ziplock freezer bag. I lay the bag down flat and once it’s frozen, I can stand it up so it takes very little space. I freeze nearly everything like that. I do the same with roasted garlic paste. When I need some onions or mild garlic, I can just break off the amount I need and put the rest back in the freezer.

[@sanwiles777]

Sooo smart!!! Thanks! I will be using this hack! Do you roast the garlic with just olive oil? Do you salt them? Lastly do you squeeze it all out, smash it up and then place in the freezer bag?

[@marlies7444]

My mom taught me about the onion thickening the gravy. We mainly used it when making a beef stew (Hungarian Goulash). Equal amount by weight of onion and beef. Also when making gravy extra creamy I use the water from boiling my potatoes for mashed potatoes. I mainly use what comes out at the end of pouring, as it has a lot of the potato starch. It makes the gravy very creamy. Adding mushroom powder will give the gravy a good flavor as well. I often add mushrooms (you might want to sauté them in its own pan and add it after gravy is blended). And for sure add a splash of Worcestershire at the end, and the kitchen bouquet.

[@MarionC-ol3et]

I am 64 years old and from Germany. Live in the states now. My mom also thought me to make Gulasch as we call it the same way. Almost same amount of onions as meat. The onions make the gravy.

Pam, we also sauté mushrooms and the onions, separately because they both cook differently...we do as you did with your onions but adding the mushrooms with the onions in the blender. We use a dash of Worcestershire sauce and a teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce. This sauce/gravy can be use so many different ways. When we make a pot pie. Beef or chicken or turkey. In our ramen dishes. Just as a gravy for the potatoes and meat slices. And sometimes we use a couple of tablespoons and add broth of your choice to make a nice cup of broth to drink with buttered toast. We make it in large batches and keep it in jars in the fridge. It lasts only two weeks in this family of eight, lol. Our favorite is cornbread and gravy, yeah!

[@willjay916]

Great idea. If you use vegetable broth, you have a gravy that you can serve to those observing a vegan as well as low carb diets . Perfect publication date- there's enough time to try out and make a few batches before US Thanksgiving (I'm assuming that any Canadian viewers made a test run on the first few days after publication).

[@drewrobinson9120]

Not sure this recipe would qualify as low carb. Onions on average are 10% carbs by weight, so for 4 large yellow onions you are looking at roughly 2lbs (possibly as high as 3lbs) of onion which equates to 3.2 ounces of carbs in this gravy. To eliminate the carbs in gravy, you would have to find a thickening process that does not rely on the gelatinization of carbohydrates, which is what this recipe is still relying even if it does not use flour or cornstarch. Given that the quantity of gravy she made would require 3-4 tablespoons of flour, you would be looking at between 18 and 24 grams of carbs (zero grams of sugar). Meanwhile the onion recipe is going to contain roughly 90 grams of total carbs with roughly 45 grams of sugar making up that total. So not only is this recipe actually higher in carbs, it is higher in sugars that a normal flour recipe. It would take about 15 tablespoons of flour to get to the overall carbs in this recipe and you would still have no sugar. Is this an interesting recipe and useful? Of course, without question. Is it a low carb recipe? Absolutely not. Do not mistake the omission of starches for the omission of carbs. Even fiber (the dietary kind) is a form of carbohydrates, only they are largely indigestible in humans.

Low Carb or not, it sure as heck works for those of us who have to be gluten free !!

Another great way I believe to make gravy when you happen to be out of flour is. Cream of mushroom (condensed). (Cream of chicken) etc. Sprinkle in some of the Knorr beef, or chicken bouillon (not much can be too salty, & I too won't salt. I then add about a quarter cup of water add in some dried onions. (water will evaporate really quickly. I then pour a wee bit of milk, a bit of pepper.

I’ve been a pretty good cook for over 40 years, but I’ve learned some new tricks today.. I would never have thought to add baking soda to cooking onions, but I do add a pinch when marinading steaks… Your onion gravy totally eliminates any worries about lumps from the flour or glassy look from corn starch. Addendum: I’m going to make your gravy to go with my mashies and steaks tonight… Thank you and God Bless.

[@dianemarky6639]

This is a great idea! I am a lazy and fast cook. I put my onions in the food processor to chop up then into frying pan. I add about a cup or more of water, about a tablespoon of oil/butter, small amount seasoning ( salt,pepper, garlic,etc) then cover cooking on med high heat. When the water is gone and the onions are tender- I remove the lid , lower temp and stir frequently until brown enough which doesn’t take long. The results are ALMOST as good as your method. This method also works well with mushrooms and other chopped vegetables. Using a glass lid makes it easy to monitor cooking time.

I’m a new subscriber and just wanted to thank you for the veggie options you’re suggesting! So thoughtful and very rare ❤

[@ML.0345]

Yes!! I love it . I always have to adapt recipes and look up how to do. I Iove that she does it and makes it so easy 😊

[@ospee2004]

My mother was french. So I know to "carmelize" onions you need to use butter. But nut oil is lower in cholesterol then other oils and I would listen to her calming voice any way. I really like this lady.

[@sn232]

Onions will caramelize without the added fat, it just takes time, and if they are burning you can add a splash of water or broth of choice.

My mama always had a bottle of Kitchen Bouquet in the pantry.

[@danaporter9196]

That’s amazing. My daughter suffers with the alpha gal disease so she can’t have anything from mammals. It all started from a tick bite from the lone star tick. Crazy how much her life has changed since then. I’m hoping she can use this recipe to make it for her. Thank you so very much.

[@schtucka78]

I have alpha-Gal allergy too. This is why I was trying to find a way to make gravy for my family without having to worry about anaphylaxis. I'm going to try this recipe ASAP. I'm so excited and also kinda starving for something with flavor. My thoughts are with your daughter and I know her struggle.

[@Angie-ci1lp]

Wow! I’ve never made gravy without flour I never knew the science part of onions 😂 I will be making this gravy I LOVE onions too! Thank you for sharing!🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

It's so good!

[@kendra_sk]

I had never heard of the baking soda trick! And I love that you explained the science behind why it works. I will definitely be using this next time I’m caramelizing onions!

[@sharont1209]

Baking soda is also great for burgers, small amount.

I'm watching from Sparta Georgia USA I'm new, and had to know what this gravy was all about. Thank you for sharing. I will be trying this very soon

[@marcikeesler6060]

Pam, I've already subbed to your tips channel, now this one, and I'm going after your gardening channel too. I'm always willing to learn, even at my age. Thank you! I can't eat modern flour, so this recipe will work nicely for me. Can't wait to try it!

[@elizabethnovak4088]

Hi Pam! Great to watch you, I love cooking just as much as you...Granny taught me to use roughly mashed potatoes as thickening, even smooth mash works wonders, I'm almost 70 now, that's what I used all these years, I taught my children to do the same...😊

[@Mommo42]

Your Gravy Recipe can be use for a starter for Soups, Stews also. I love onions anyway and to not use cornstarch which is the ingredient I use actually, will be a game changer. Thank you Pam👍

This is a fabulous recipe! I’ve missed gravy so much. The flour and cornstarch gravies are really hard on my diabetes. I can hardly wait to try this! ❤️

[@lindacormack365]

Just be careful. Onions are not low on the glycemic index, they have a high sugar content, especially when carmelized.

I have never been able to make great gravy and this looks easy enough that I won't be able to mess it up. Thanks!!! Love your channel

I would watch your cooking just to have a ‘piece’ of your delightful, darling personality!!!Thank you.

[@mrmrswalterjobjr4188]

Such a great idea. Please check your labels on your browning sauce. Many contain gluten. I did find one from Jamaica that was Gluten Free (rice based I think?). I know that you know Pam, but for those that don’t know, gluten is found in wheat, barley and rye. Oats also have a different type of gluten too. Therefore, some celiacs cannot even use oats. So I still love the idea about using the onions. I guess I could brown the onions more and avoid the browning sauce all together. Thanks again for this idea for gravy.

[@14ToeBeans]

Kitchen Bouquet is Gluten Free, and a miracle ingredient to use whenever cooking ground beef for any purpose. It’s wonderful.

[@username00009]

From what I’ve read, oats are naturally gluten free but growing practices can lead to cross-contamination. Certified gluten free oats are available though.

[@stephanieware1813]

I love Pam's enthusiasm...so refreshing. I never knew you could do this with just onions and I will certainly be trying this method. Thanks Pam!!

[@OrlaQuirk]

Thank you! I had no idea about onion gravy. Never too much gravy on the table, so I really need to make this for the holidays. Even in the (unlikely ) event that no one else likes it as gravy, I can add it to a later meal, and have everyone admiring my pot pie, casserole, or soup Thanks, again.

[@nancyhammons3594]

Pam, you are a kitchen goddess. My husband and I have been on a low carb/keto diet for several years and I have been trying to so hard to make gravy that tastes good and fits the diet. We like onions too. I'll make this the next time I make meatloaf and mashed cauliflower. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

[@elaineelston9110]

I thought were high in carbs, and off the keto diet.

[@nancyhammons3594]

@@elaineelston9110 I think they are ok in moderation. The health benefits of onions sort of out weight the carbs, too. For example, I'll make a meatloaf with mashed cauliflower, and Pam's gravy.

[@cynthiaparker1436]

Yes, high in carbs, but carbs will be lower per serving. My yield was 1 3/4 cups of gravy because I added water to thin the gravy. The serving size I use is 2 tablespoons. Thank you, Pam! Gamechanger for low carb gravy!!!!

[@JamesMcDowell-x6c]

Onions have more sugar (a carbohydrate) than a lot of fruits....Gravy master is just more caramelized sugar......This gravy is LOADED with sugar.........I really think a gravy made with a little corn starch slurry and a good strong meat broth probably has LESS carbs and is therefore closer to the KETO requirements than this onion gravy........And....There are people who don't like onions.

[@tstramel]

Xanthum gum makes a great low carb gravy thickener. Just don’t use too much. Too much makes it gooey. I mix the gum with water then add more to thin it a bit. Add some to your broth and use immersion blender to mix. It’s a bit trial and add but after using you get a feel. A little goes along way. I made turkey gravy and no one could tell the difference.

[@tracebooks]

This is terrific! I just discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and instantly subscribed. Your recipes are great, and I love how you explain the science behind WHY things work! Also: I used to make this almost a decade ago and forgot about it. It’s a common British thing that I didn’t grow up with, but found one day looking up recipes for a St. Patrick’s Day meal. It is truly delicious! And it’s going on the menu for Thanksgiving now! Knowing I can freeze it means I can make it this month when I’m not too busy!

[@da6885]

This sounds delicious!! And with gravy season coming round I'll be trying this out. By the way, for a good color, I usually use half the amount of broth needed, and make up the rest with strong black coffee (decaf would work fine), and I like to add up to a teaspoon of dry vermouth. Thanks a million for this one, Chef.

[@jillghiati5761]

👍 👍

[@nancy4752]

My mom use to use black tea in her gravy

[@rubyslippers9611]

Thanks for a new way to make gravy.

[@happyyettired]

💯1. modification: I minced the onion to avoid the blender-It worked! Onions simmered in butter until clear and sweet. 2. Used Splotched Roasted Turkey drippings (onion, celery, carrots, squash, potatoes and 2 cups chicken broth under the turkey), and the starches thickened the gravy during reduction. 3. Family loved the gravy! Am doing it again, absolutely.

[@lisaleidy344]

I’m going to make this tomorrow for Christmas dinner. We are having a pot roast. Thanks for showing us how to do this, Pam! Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@karolschoenfeld]

You have such a pleasing, winsome personality, Pam! I’m not a huge lover of cooking, but have recently had to alter my diet due to discovered food sensitivities (gluten, eggs, hydrogenated oils) so I watch for alternative ideas. Love the onion gravy thickening lesson! I’ve subscribed and will be back!😊

[@lindacormack365]

This is fabulous for us gluten sensitive folks! Can't wait to use it!

[@MG-ot2yr]

Thanks for the recipe! I'm gluten intolerant and hate using cornstarch in gravies, I don't like the consistency, but do use brown rice flour which really makes nice velvety gravy, I think its better than wheat flour. But I'll try this onion gravy as well, I love onions! and love caramelizing them so I'll skip the baking soda step, no need to speed it up....good excuse for a glass of wine and relaxing, stirring and smelling them cook lol

[@jeme7339]

Tapioca starch is a good gluten-free option to thicken broth.

[@MG-ot2yr]

@@jeme7339 I've never tried tapioca starch, thanks for the tip. Also I forgot to mention I can tolerate ancient wheat, Einkorn, and do use that now for biscuits, bagels, flatbreads, pizza crust and pie crust all works great, it just doesn't do well for light, fluffy breads due to the much lower gluten index. But still go back to the brown rice flour for a sauce thickener, it just has a really nice quality for that.

[@resurrectionsunday4164]

Love your videos Pam and all of the help that you’re providing. Just a small note… the description box says keto recipes and although you are skipping the flour and cornstarch onions are all higher in sugar and generally not considered keto ❤ I have found that plain almond milk added to pan drippings and fond makes a great gravy once cooked down to desired thickness. Please give it a try sometime and let me know what you think 🤔

[@purerachet7715]

I am thinking you can roast cauliflower and blitz it in the blender it will thicken the gravy just the same. I might just try it!

[@susangonos589]

Using raw cashews makes a really nice gravy. Onion powder, garlic powder, salt to taste, and agar agar.

[@kimherben7866]

Arrowroot powder is good for thickening, also. Instead of Kitchen bouquet, I use sprinkles of chili powder to darken the gravy and give a little flavor.

[@pjaneheil]

Hi Pam, I'm 79 and I have used the kitchen Bouquet & the other item, both are perfect, and I have learned that from my Aunt, she was an excellent cook and teacher But I did not know about the caramelized onions in a blender with chicken stock, but it makes good sense, becuz water will dilute the process rather than enhancing.❤❤❤ the flavor

[@chilltarts]

My own mom didnt cook outside of oven ready “meals” so I have had to slowly teach myself. I just want to say thank you for sharing this recipe. It’s so much easier than the one I’ve been using, and even that always clumps up. My husband and family are going to be singing your praises this Thanksgiving. 🙏🏽 thanks again internet-mama!

This is absolutely brilliant! I will definitely be using this technique! I already use the vegetables that I use to flavor a cooking pot roast with (carrots, onions, celery, garlic and dried rehydrated mushrooms, herbs, wine, broth) pureed with a stick blender as the gravy for the finished pot roast and vegetables.
