Ingredients

1kg White onions
2 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Butter
2 Bay leaves
1 sprig Thyme
white wine (optional)
veal/beef stock demi-glace (optional)
2 tbsp Balsamic vinegar

  • Peel onions, quarter (or halve if small) and slice
  • Heat olive oil and butter in large saute pan or dutch oven
  • Lower heat to medium, and add onions
  • Stir on occasion and allow onions to sweat and caramelise
  • After onions have softened, deglaze with wine, stock or demi-glace
  • Add bay leaves and thyme
  • Turn heat to low, stir occasionally and cook till completely caramelised
  • Finish with balsamic vinegar

Final cookdown takes at least 45mins, up to 2hrs depending on size of pan/pot and level of heat. Alternatives to stovetop cooking: in oven at low or slowcooker overnight.

Keep in fridge - it never lasts long enough to go bad!

Serving suggestions:
  • ripe camembert or brie on bread
  • pan fried pork chops
  • roasted potatoes or sweet potatoes
  • stir in stilton cheese and serve with pasta or use as simple tart filling
