SWEET ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Saute the onions in a skillet over medium-low heat until translucent and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Deglaze the pan with both vinegars and the wine. Simmer on medium-low heat until all the liquid has been evaporated, about 15 minutes.

ONION JAM RELISH

Steps:

• Peel the onions and cut off the ends, then stand each onion on its bottom and slice it through the center, top to bottom.
• Continue slicing to produce thin, semicircular julienne strips, then cut those into pieces 2 or 3 inches long.
• Cut the scallions into pieces 2 or 3 inches long.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onions and scallions and sauté until they begin to soften; cover the pan, lower the heat, and cook until they are wilted, about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the lid, increase the heat, and add the vinegar.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vinegar is reduced by half.
• Stir in the salt and pepper, then gradually add the brown sugar, tasting as you go.
• Onions have different amounts of natural sugar at different times of the year, so the amount of brown sugar may need to be adjusted. The final flavor should be strongly sweet-and-sour.
• Continue cooking the mixture until the jam is thick, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

ONION JAM

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Stir sugar into vegetable oil with a wooden spoon, stirring constantly until mixture is a light caramel-color, about 10 minutes. Mixture will be very hot.
• Stir onion, salt, and black pepper into sugar mixture. Onions will immediately start to caramelize. Stir frequently over medium heat until sugar has dissolved and onions are browned, about 15 minutes.
• Pour red wine vinegar into onion mixture and simmer until mixture has a jam consistency, about 30 minutes. Let cool to serve.
