  • About

This is an aromatic and pungent sauce-a bit sweet, a bit sour, and just swell. It is wonderful as a condiment, added to pizza or hamburgers, or served with white-fleshed fish, lamb, poultry, or game.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3

Method

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Add the onions and pepper and cook until completely wilted, slowly stirring occasionally, 35 to 40 minutes.
  2. Add the sherry vinegar, stir, and cook an additional 15 minutes. Cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Onion confit also freezes well.
