Making citrus-miso gravy for Thanksgiving

Start to finish: 20 minutes

Makes about 4 cups

2 teaspoons vegetable or canola oil

1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sweet white miso

1/4 cup white wine

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon orange zest

Ground black pepper, to taste

In a large saute pan over medium-high, heat the oil. Add the onion and saute until caramelized and golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Add the flour, miso and white wine, then bring to a simmer, whisking and scraping the bottom of the pan. Add 1 cup of the broth and whisk until smooth. Add the remaining broth and the zest. Whisk vigorously, then cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until thickened. Season with black pepper.
