Servings: 12
This is a good sauce (if you like onions) to use with any grilled meat.
Ingredients:
2 white onions, chopped finely
4 tablespoons butter (2 for cooking the onion & 2 to make the roux)
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
salt & pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Directions:
1. Cook the onions in 2 T of butter until they are very soft (about 12 minutes). They should not brown. (In France they puree the onions for a more refined sauce.) At this point it's your choice.
2. In a saucepan, melt the other 2 T of butter & incorporate the flour, stirring over low heat for 2 minutes.
3. Gradually whisk in the milk, blending well after each addition. Cook the sauce over low to medium heat until it thickens & comes just to a boil. Remove from heat & stir in the cooked onions & heavy cream.
