soften onions in butter (or dripping) - don't brown or burn them, when they are nice and soft add stock - oxo is fine, let it cook away & season to taste. If you want a thicker gravy then add a little cornflour mixed with water

Before granules came out my mother made gravy with cornflower and Oxo cubes. There also used to be a thing called gravy powder.
so do you want a recipe for onion gravy?
Gravy powder still exists - it's Bisto of course.
Aah! You can't kid a Bisto kid!

Yes just an onion gravy recipe without using gravy granules or powder
After roasting meat, i keep all the juices and then, in the roasting tray, i throw a good few cloves of garlic, rosemary, mint and thyme, shallots....squashed up, a good few glasses of red and/or white wine, stock and then a few teaspoons of plain flour to thicken.

Heat and simmer and stir continually.

When nice and thick (add more flour to thicken....more water to thin) sieve into a serving jug to remove all the bits.
To make gravy I use cornflour and cross & Blackwell gravy browning which is hard to source but it is still available. I use meat juices and water from the potatoes or veggies. If not enough flavour add an oxo cube
Never make gravy with granules or Oxo.
Meat juices and cornflour.
