Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons onion, small dice
1–2 cloves of garlic, smashed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup stock, chicken or vegetable
2 teaspoons sage, chiffonade
olive oil
Splash of lemon juice
Splash of heavy cream
Kosher salt to taste
Instructions
Heat a small pot over medium heat. Once hot add just enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pot. Give the pot a swirl to evenly distribute the oil.
Reduce the heat and add the onion; sauté for a minute or two.
Add the garlic, sauté for another minute.
Add the butter. Once it’s melted add the flour.
Cook the butter and flour mixture for 3 minutes or until you achieve a nice blond color.
Slowly whisk in the stock.
Continue to simmer until mixture thickens.
Once the gravy has thickened, pour the gravy through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to strain out the bits of onion and garlic.
Return the gravy to the pot.
Off the heat, stir in a splash of lemon juice.
Stir in a splash of cream.
Taste and season as needed.
Stir in the sage.
Serve immediately.
Notes
You can make this gravy ahead of time. Add a tiny bit of water to it and warm it up slowly to bring it back to temp.
