Caramelized Onion Gravy and Sweet Potato Angel Biscuits
Yields: 10 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 6 cups thinly sliced red onion
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1½ tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1½ cups hard apple cider
  • 1½ cups vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1½ teaspoons chopped fresh sage
  • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Sweet Potato Angel Biscuits (recipe follows)
  • Garnish: chopped fresh sage, ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. In a large cast-iron skillet, combine onion, 2 tablespoons butter, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add brown sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons butter; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until dark golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together cider, broth, and cornstarch until smooth. Add cider mixture to onions; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in sage, pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Serve over Sweet Potato Angel Biscuits. Garnish with sage and pepper, if desired.
Notes
Substitute hard apple cider with apple juice and omit brown sugar, if desired.
