Blueberry Onion Compote

Directions

1. 1
   Heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-low heat in a small pot. Add the diced onion and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are caramelized.
2. 2
   Turn the heat up to medium and add the blueberries, salt, pepper, and rosemary in with the onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries look taught, as if they are ready to burst.
3. 3
   Pour in the balsamic vinegar and reduce the mixture for about 5 more minutes, while mashing the berries with the back of a wooden spoon. Once the mixture is reduced and thickened, remove from heat, and finish with butter, stirring until the butter is melted and fully incorporated into the sauce for a silky finish.
4. 4
   Use the compote to top any grilled meat or burger to add a simple and easy gourmet flair to your meal! My favorite way to indulge in this unique compote is on a beef hamburger, with the addition of young goat cheese and arugula.
