Red Wine And Onion Gravy

• 6 onions or 12 shallots, peeled and chopped
• 3 cups red wine
• 2 3/8 cups hot water
• 2 Knorr Beef Gravy Pots
• juices Roasting, from roast beef
• 1 double cream optional
• ground black pepper Freshly, optional

1. Place the chopped onions and red wine in a large saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook uncovered until reduced by two-thirds, around 20 minutes. Cooking it down in this way reduces the acidity and intensifies the flavour.
2. Add the hot water to the reduced wine. Add in the Knorr Beef Gravy Pots, stirring well until thoroughly dissolved.
3. Simmer, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Add in the roasting juices and mix in.
4. Simmer, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, until the gravy thickens. Add in the roasting juices and mix in.
5. Add in the double cream if using and stir in. This is me harking back to my restaurant days, but it gives that velvety texture. Add a touch of freshly ground pepper, if desired.
