Directions
1.
In a large heavy saute pan, melt butter and saute onions on medium heat, stirring frequently for about 15 to 20 minutes until onions are caramelized to a rich golden brown. (The butter will foam as the water content of the butter and onions boils off.)
2.
Sprinkle flour over the onions and mix to blend. Cook over low heat for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
3.
Add hot chicken stock, whisking constantly, cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until thickened.
4.
At this point the gravy base can be refrigerated for a day or two, if desired.
5.
To finish the gravy, heat gravy base over medium-low heat. Add fresh thyme, cream, salt and pepper. Whisk to blend.
6.
Simmer over low heat until warm.
