- 1
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 2-3 heads of garlic, roasted
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar or honey
- 3 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- pinch freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Peel the onions and cut into quarters or sixths; place in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. This gives you pieces of onion in a variety of sizes; alternatively roughly chop them by hand.
Place the olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat; add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, until soft. Squeeze the garlic out of its casing into the onions and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the excess moisture is starting to cook off.
Add the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and pepper and cook, stirring often, for another 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and deep golden. Cool and refrigerate until needed. (Freeze any you’ll be storing for over a week.)
Makes about 2 cups.
