Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Allow it to cook for about 10 minutes until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
