Ingredients
- 4 large (about 800g total) Yellow onions
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 10 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 1.5 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the onions and cut them into thin slices, about 1/8-inch thick.
Step 2
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and olive oil, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Step 3
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the butter and oil. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the onions are soft and golden brown.
Step 4
While the onions are cooking, finely chop the sage leaves.
Step 5
Add the sage, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the onions. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Pour in the water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any caramelized bits from the bottom of the skillet. Continue cooking for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are rich, dark, and glossy.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Step 8
Remove the compote from the heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature as a condiment or topping.
