Cooking with Jonny69: Bangers, mash and a killer onion gravy

One thing that I have found that is nice with bangers and mash is Tesco Finest Caramalised Onion relish from Tesco (probably a competitor somewhere along the line :/).

Goes really well.
 
i always have demi glaze in cos im lazy

cook of a roughly sliced onion with some lard and a nob of butter.
add a pint beef stock (as above knor is good if you havnt got fresh)
add a small glass of nice red wine (never use wine you wouldnt drink) i hate it when ppl say that the wine isnt nice and they will save it for cooking
a healty amount of basil and oregano
2 tbs tomatoe puré
mix some demi glaze and add (its just corn flour and brown tbh)


lovley

also a nice alternative is to only cut the onions into quaters and boil them in the stock for 20 mins. make for a enhanced onion gravy

It must be terrible having to live with that perpetual black cloud over your head.


Thanks for another great thread Jonny. Unlike Visage The Grumpy, some of us are mere beginners in the kitchen, and your threads are a help to us. Keep up the good work, and keep them coming. :)
 
Thanks for the comments chaps :D

What sort of beer would be best to use?. Wouldn't mind making some decent gravy for a change instead of bisto.

I'd start with a lager but basically it's quite a strong tasting gravy so it can support stronger beers. A bitter would make it slightly hoppy and quite rich and a stout would turn it dark and malty, both will compliment the onions. You probably wouldn't want a whole bottle of stout in there, just half.

Given the culinary skills of most people: yes

I am frequently dumbfounded by the sheer idiocy my flatmates demonstrate in the kitchen, and I'm hardly top-notch myself

Just to back this up, a housemate wanted to cook some potatos, baked I think.

After a minute or two of inspecting the bag of potatoes, he turn to ask me "Where are the instructions?"

:eek: :o

I threw a cookbook at him. :D
 
Red onion gravy is the best.....

fry red onions in a little butter, on a low heat for about 15 mins (until translucent).
Add balsamic vinegar - fry the bejesus out of it until the vinegar has reduced.
Add a little water and stock cube. Boil until thick. Serve.

Ala Jamie Oliver.
