Onion gravy is a type of gravy prepared with onion.[1] Various types of onions are used in its preparation.[2] Some preparations caramelise the onions.[3] Onion gravy may be served to accompany many foods, such as pork, beef steak, meatloaf, hamburger, bangers and mash, hot dogs, and chips,[1][4][5][6] among others. Vegan onion gravy also exists, which may use seitan cooking broth in its preparation.[7] Premade mixes and formulations also exist, such as solid sauce bars.[8]
