What do you do to pass the time this winter? One of the things I am doing more of is watching food shows on TV and cooking. Most everything they make looks delicious. The problem is if I make it I eat it, and most of the items are not Weight Watchers approved. Well, we've all got to do what we can to get through this disaster. I will deal with some extra pounds later on.
Onion relish and tomato jam are two condiments that I love, have had at upscale restaurants in the past, but have never made. I decided to make onion relish the other day. The amounts of the ingredients are approximate. If you like it sweet, add a little more brown sugar. If you like it savory, add more red wine vinegar and red wine.
Onion Relish
2 onions diced or thin sliced (I diced them, but next time I will slice thin. I think the final product will be better)
1T. brown sugar
1T. red wine vinegar
1T. balsamic vinegar
1/4 c. red wine
Slice onions, cook them for 5-10 minutes in a pan with a little olive oil until soft and mushy. Add all the other ingredients, mix well and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. That's it!
I put it on a hamburger the other night and it was delicious! You can use it as a condiment on any protein, put on a burger as I did, or put it on a sandwich. A turkey sandwich with onion relish. Yum.
