Basic brown sauce
This makes a useful base for other savoury sauces.
What you need
- 25 g butter
- 25 g plain flour
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 600 ml hot stock
- seasoning
Method
Melt the butter in a saucepan - and the onion if used, letting it cook gently until onion is transparent.
Add the flour, stir well and cook together very slowly for about 15 min until flour is a warm brown colour. This is the brown 'roux'.
Add the hot stock, stirring until it thickens smoothly. Season. Let the sauce simmer for about 30 min. Skim before using.

Cook's tip
The roux for this sauce can be made in advance in quantity and will keep in the fridge for a long time. Follow the recipe, omitting the onion. When you need the sauce in a hurry, add the stock.
