Melted Onions

8 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 large yellow onions, peeled and sliced into rings
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and slivered
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 sprig thyme
  • a couple whole black peppercorns
  • 2 tablespoons tawny port
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

Directions

  1. 1
    In a good sized saucepan, melt the butter and cook until starting to foam. Add the onions and garlic, salt, thyme, and peppercorns. Stir to coat with butter.
  2. 2
    Add the port and vinegar. Turn heat down very low, cover, and cook covered for about 45-50 minutes, until the onions are very soft and tender. Fish out the thyme sprig and peppercorns.
  3. 3
    Use the onions as toppings for meats, bruschettas, sandwiches or savory tarts. Sometimes I also mash the onions, garlic, and liquids together, to make a spread.
