Inspired by a meal at Alchemy Wine Bar in Galway, Ireland, there was no doubt that I needed to whip up an onion jam when we returned home. It was an important accompaniment to the quiche I enjoyed at Alchemy and I was sure there would be other uses. Oh, yes, there are – pizza topping, burger topping, sandwich filling, etc.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 small yellow onions (about 2 pounds), sliced
4 sprigs fresh thyme, or a pinch or dried thyme
1/ 2 cup stock, beef, chicken, or vegetable
1/2 cup white wine
1 teaspoon balsamic reduction, or 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
pinch salt
Directions
- Over medium heat, add oil and onions to a frying pan
- Saute until translucent, stirring occasionally
- Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer, continuing to stir until onions are caramelized and liquids have cooked down
- It’s ready to serve
