So today I am feeling a little under the weather so I have chosen to cook my self some heeling food. For me thats french onion soup today. Now as my head is a little cloudy to say the least I need something simple. So here we are.. enjoy!
What you need
30ml (2tbsp) sunflower oil
15g (1/2oz) butter
3 red onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1.5 sugar
15ml (1tbsp) plain flour
10ml (2tsp) wholegrain mustard
1 liters (2pt) beef or vegetable stock
2 large sprigs fresh thyme
What you do!
Heat the oil and butter in a large deep pan. Add the onions and cook gently over a low heat for 10 mins, stirring frequently. Sprinkle over the sugar and cook for a further 10 mins until the onions are soft.
Stir in the flour and mustard, and cook for 1 min. Add the stock and thyme sprigs and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30-40 mins.
Serve with crusty bread... delish!
