1. Heat the oil in a skillet or heavy-based saucepan and cook the onions in it over a moderate heat for 5 minutes, stirring and shaking frequently, until they are lightly browned all over.
2. Mix in the flour and cook it gently for 1 minute, stirring, then gradually stir in the stock and milk. Scatter on the herbs, season with pepper and cook over a moderate heat, stirring continuously, for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
3. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender. Pour into a warmed serving dish and sprinkle with the parsley.
