Ingredients
- 6 onions or 12 shallots, peeled and chopped
- 700ml red wine
- 560ml hot water
- 2 Knorr Beef Gravy Pots
- Roasting juices from roast beef
- 1dsp double cream (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
Method
- Place the chopped onions and red wine in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook uncovered until reduced by two-thirds, around 20 minutes. Cooking it down in this way reduces the acidity and intensifies the flavour.
- Add the hot water to the reduced wine. Add in the Knorr Beef Gravy Pots, stirring well until thoroughly dissolved.
- Simmer, stirring, for 3–4 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Add in the roasting juices and mix in.
- Add in the double cream if using and stir in. This is me harking back to my restaurant days, but it gives that velvety texture. Add a touch of freshly ground pepper, if desired.
