Author Notes
The key to this is super slow cooking over low heat. It's so sweet - and it's a delicious addition to sandwiches, crostini, or even as a dollop to garnish soup - I always keep it in the fridge. —Erin Jeanne McDowell
Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons
olive oil (30 g)
-
1 tablespoon
butter (14 g)
-
2
sweet onions, very thinly sliced (440 g)
-
3
cloves garlic, very thinly sliced (15 g)
-
1 tablespoon
dark brown sugar (13 g)
-
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
-
1/4 cup
apple cider vinegar (57 g)
Directions
-
In a small pot or saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
-
Lower the heat, add the garlic, and continue to cook over low heat until the onions are caramelized, about 6-8 minutes more. Season well with salt and pepper.
-
Deglaze the pan with apple cider vinegar, and continue to cook until the vinegar has been reduced completely, and the mixture has formed a smooth, thick relish.
-
The relish can be served warm, or cooled and refrigerated until ready to use.
I always have three kinds of hot sauce in my purse. I have a soft spot for making people their favorite dessert, especially if it's wrapped in a pastry crust. My newest cookbook, Savory Baking, came out in Fall of 2022 - is full of recipes to translate a love of baking into recipes for breakfast, dinner, and everything in between!
