Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 medium (sliced thinly) Yellow onion
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Add the tomato paste to the skillet, stirring to coat the onions evenly, and cook for 2 minutes to eliminate the raw flavor.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the water, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and cornstarch.

Step 6

Pour the liquid mixture into the skillet with the onions. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, mixing thoroughly.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the onion sauce cool slightly. Serve warm as a topping for hot dogs or your favorite dishes.
