If you're a lover of caramelised onion gravy, you're sure to love this slightly sweet Medjool date gravy. It's made with red wine and beef stock for an ultra-luxurious take on a standard British gravy. It works with beef, of course, but is also delicious over anything from duck confit to a classic turkey.
