A small condiment that goes well with pork or beef ... would also make a great topping for pizza, or would be good on sandwiches. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
4 tablespoons brown sugar |
10 cups onions, thinly sliced (see note) |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons vinegar (red wine vinegar) |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground |
Directions:
1. NOTE: About those onions - 10 cups is somewhere between 3 and 4 very large onions. The recipe I took this from called for sweet onions. First time I made it, I used Vidalia - and thought they made it a little bland. Next time I tried spicier brown onions, and thought it had a lot more flavor.
2. In a LARGE skillet, melt butter. Add brown sugar and stir until it dissolves.
3. Add onion and garlic to skillet. Stir to coat with butter/sugar mixture. Cover and cook over medium heat for at least 30 minutes; you can cook them much longer and it will only make it sweeter.
4. Uncover and add vinegar to onion mixture. Cook, uncovered for at least 10 minutes. (I found I cooked it nearly 45 minutes, to try to reduce some of the liquid.).
5. Add salt and pepper.
6. Serve at room temperature or even chilled.
