onion sauce
Savory layered topping
Onion sauce is a creamy sauce made with cooked onions, typically in a white sauce base of butter, flour, and milk.
It's a traditional British accompaniment to lamb, mutton, or tripe: The roast lamb came with mint jelly and onion sauce.
The sauce ranges from smooth to chunky depending on how finely the onions are prepared.
