Onion sauce is a culinary sauce that uses onion as its primary ingredient.[1][2] Some onion sauces may use several types of onions in their preparation. Some onion sauces are brown in color, while others are white.[1][2][3]

Many various ingredients may be used in preparations of onion sauce, such as cream, milk, butter, chicken broth, wine, port wine, beer, lemon juice, flour, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, dry mustard, sage and other herbs, mushroom ketchup, bread crumbs, bacon and others.[1] Preparation generally involves slicing or dicing and then cooking the onions, adding additional ingredients, and then continuing to cook or simmer the mixture to create a sauce.[1][2] Some preparations involve frying the onions until they are browned, while others do not brown the onions.[1][2]

Onion sauce can be used to complement many foods, such as potatoes and peas, meats, such as pork, duck, rabbit, mutton, and liver, such as calf liver.[1][2][4] Onion sauce prepared with bread crumbs may be used as a stuffing, which can be used in various poultry dishes, such as goose.[1]
