Making gravy is an easy way to enhance any dish.
An appetizing sauce will help make pasta more interesting and will help diversify the usual side dish of buckwheat or any other cereal.
However, in most cases, any gravy recipe requires meat. But there is a great way to do without this important component.
What products will be needed?
- 300 ml of liquid (any broth or plain water);
- half an onion;
- about 50 grams of butter;
- 1 large spoon of flour;
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste;
- spices (nutmeg, red or aromatic black pepper, salt) as desired.
How to cook
In a well-heated pan (a sauté pan is ideal for this recipe, but you can also use a convenient frying pan), you will need to bring the butter to a liquid consistency and bring the chopped onion to softness. Carefully add the flour and mix.
Next, you need to pour in the liquid component - water or broth. It is best to add them warm. Stir the components again, wait 1-2 minutes, add spices and salt. If you want the gravy to have a bright and interesting taste, do not forget to add a pinch of sugar.
All that remains is to add tomato paste, stir and wait a few minutes. After cooking, the sauce may become thicker.
