Sauces: 43. Onion
Cut four or five large
onions in slices. Simmer these gently with four
ounces of
butter and four ounces of
ham (
lean and
fat), a pinch of
flour,
salt,
pepper, a pinch of white
sugar, a little
stock, and the juice of a
lemon. This sauce is
delicious with warmed-up
meats, white or brown.
