Confit D'oignon - Onion Preserve

Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons light oil
• 1 lb onion
• 1 cup red wine, good
• 1/3 cup sugar
• salt and pepper

Recipe

• 1 peel the onions, top and tail them. cut them in half, then cut each half into very thin slices or just chop them.
• 2 put the oil and the onions into a pot, and cook the onions over a low heat until they are transparent.
• 3 when the onions are transparent and tender, add the wine, still over low heat. add some salt to bring out the flavor, and a little pepper.
• 4 add the sugar, stirring to blend it.
• 5 cook this down until the wine is totally cooked away, always over low heat. the consistency should be like a jam, because you will spread this on toasts for the foie gras, and you don't want it to be drippy.
• 6 this shouldn't be too sweet, because it is for meat, but you can up the dose of sugar a little if you want.
• 7 you can add some sultanas and a few cloves while you cook the liquid down to vary the recipe.
