Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 4 pounds onions, preferably sweet varieties like Walla Walla or Vidalia (about 8 onions)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon apple-cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped sage leaves
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Peel, quarter and thinly slice the onions. In a large heavy kettle, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to turn golden, about 1 hour. Lower the heat if the onions stick to the bottom.
  • Add the shallot and garlic and continue cooking, stirring often, until the onions are a deep golden color, 20 to 30 minutes more. Add the wine and vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated.
  • Add the sage and season with salt and pepper. Serve as a sauce with duck, pork or roasted meats.
