- Melt the butter in a frying pan and fry your sliced onions until pale yellow which takes about 7 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp of flour and the seasonings. Then pour over your hot stock and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Sieve the onions off and discard. You should be left with a golden sauce the consistency of double cream. If your sauce is too think, loosen with a little extra stock.
- Meanwhile, roast your pork or cook pork or chicken however you like. When ready to serve, gently reheat the sauce in a pan and add a good tsp of Dijon mustard and stir to combine. Pour over your meat. (as served with mash potatoes and green beans on this occasion)
