Sauce Soubise (Onion Sauce)

Jackie #6's Note:

This is a good sauce (if you like onions) to use with any grilled meat.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1.3333334 cups

• 2 white onions , chopped finely
• 4 tablespoons butter (2 for cooking the onion & 2 to make the roux)
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup milk
• salt & pepper , to taste
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions:

1. Cook the onions in 2 T of butter until they are very soft (about 12 minutes). They should not brown. (In France they puree the onions for a more refined sauce.) At this point it's your choice.
2. In a saucepan, melt the other 2 T of butter & incorporate the flour, stirring over low heat for 2 minutes.
3. Gradually whisk in the milk, blending well after each addition. Cook the sauce over low to medium heat until it thickens & comes just to a boil. Remove from heat & stir in the cooked onions & heavy cream.
