ONION MARMALADE



Onion Marmalade image

Onion marmalade is kind of a game changer for burgers, grilled cheese, or even a charcuterie board. It's called a marmalade because the knife cut we use is long and stringy, kind of like a citrus.

Categories     condiment

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium yellow onions, about 8 cups, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
salt
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the onions by first cutting in half, then removing the core at an angle. Thinly slice the onions like a fan. Over medium heat, add the oil followed by the onions. The onions will start to sweat and cook down, releasing their liquid. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring every 2-3 minutes until the moisture is gone, 20 minutes or more as needed, depending on moisture level of the onions.
  • When all of the moisture's been cooked out of the onions, turn the heat back to medium, add the sugar, a pinch of salt, and the vinegar and bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar and combine. Turn the heat to low and reduce until the mixture is a thick jam, about 45 minutes.

RED ONION MARMALADE



Red onion marmalade image

Soft, sticky onion marmalade - great with pâtés and terrrines or a ploughman's lunch

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Condiment, Side dish, Snack

Time 2h15m

Yield Fills about four 500ml jars

Number Of Ingredients 10

2kg red onions or regular onions
4 garlic cloves
140g butter
4 tbsp olive oil
140g golden caster sugar
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaf
pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
75cl bottle red wine
350ml sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
200ml port

Steps:

  • Halve and thinly slice the onions, then thinly slice the garlic. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Tip in the onions and garlic and give them a good stir so they are glossed with butter. Sprinkle over the sugar, thyme leaves, chilli flakes if using and some salt and pepper. Give everything another really good stir and reduce the heat slightly. Cook uncovered for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions are ready when all their juices have evaporated, they're really soft and sticky and smell of sugar caramelising. They should be so soft that they break when pressed against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. Slow cooking is the secret of really soft and sticky onions, so don't rush this part.
  • Pour in the wine, vinegar and port and simmer everything, still uncovered, over a high heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring every so often until the onions are a deep mahogany colour and the liquid has reduced by about two-thirds. It's done when drawing a spoon across the bottom of the pan clears a path that fills rapidly with syrupy juice. Leave the onions to cool in the pan, then scoop into sterilised jars and seal. Can be eaten straight away, but keeps in the fridge for up to 3 months.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right onions: Use sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla for a milder flavor, or yellow or white onions for a more pungent taste.
  • Slicing the onions thinly: This helps them cook evenly and caramelize faster.
  • Using a microwave-safe bowl: Make sure the bowl is large enough to hold the onions and liquid without overflowing.
  • Cooking in intervals: Microwave the onions in short bursts, stirring in between, to prevent them from burning.
  • Adding vinegar: The vinegar helps to balance the sweetness of the onions and adds a tangy flavor.
  • Seasoning to taste: Add salt, pepper, and herbs like thyme or rosemary to taste.

Conclusion:

This microwave onion marmalade is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and versatile condiment. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes in the microwave, you can have a flavorful addition to your favorite dishes. Whether you use it as a spread for sandwiches, a topping for burgers, or a glaze for roasted vegetables, this onion marmalade is sure to impress.
