  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onions and salt. Cook and stir until onions have softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onions are very tender and dark brown, about 40 minutes more.
  • Add quick-mixing flour; mix well and allow it to brown slightly in the pan for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour chicken stock into the pan and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Maintain a simmer and cook until sauce has reduced and thickened enough that it will coat the back of a spoon.
  • Add butter; mix well. Transfer gravy to a blender. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend until there are no chunks of onion left.
