Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon sunflower seed oil
• ¾ cup water, or more as needed
• 1 onion, peeled and quartered

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring onion and water to a boil in a saucepan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer onion and water to a blender; puree until smooth.

Step 2

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until flour has turned golden and begins to smell like toast, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Stir onion puree into flour paste. Cook and stir until thickened to sauce consistency, adding more water if necessary, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine vinegar and salt.
