Whole cloves infuse sweet onions with a rich, well-rounded flavor and fragrance. The relish is delicious with roast pork, chicken and duck, and it's great on sandwiches, especially slathered on a crusty baguette with baked Virginia ham and sharp Cheddar cheese. Ingredients:
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
6 whole cloves |
1/4 cup ruby port |
1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup |
salt and freshly ground pepper |
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, cook the onion in the olive oil over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the cloves, cover and cook over low heat until the onion is deeply caramelized on the bottom, about 12 minutes. Add the port and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the maple syrup and remove from the heat. Remove and discard the cloves. Season the relish with salt and pepper and let cool.
2. Make Ahead: The relish can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
