Brown Onion Sauce
"Directions for Cookery, in its Various Branches", By Eliza Leslie, 1840


Slice some large mild Spanish onions. Cover them with butter, and set them over a slow fire to brown. Then add salt and cayenne
pepper to your taste, and some good brown gravy of roast meat, poultry or game, thickened with a bit of butter rolled in flour
that has first been browned by holding it in a hot pan or shovel over the fire. Give it a boil, skim it well, and just before you
take it off, stir in a half glass of port or claret, and the same quantity of mushroom catchup.

Use this sauce for roasted poultry, game, or meat.
