Savor the Flavor

Zapraska a thickening sauce

A brown sauce 1 small onion – chopped 4 tbs. flour 4 tbs. salad oil

Stir flour into oil in a pan over medium heat. When mixed well, add onion and brown it in the mixture. The entire mixture will be light brown in color. This can be added to many dishes – such as soups, to thicken and add a little more flavor (beans, mushroom soup, cabbage soup, etc.) This sauce was always added to the dishes we served for Christmas Eve Holy Supper.
