Sweet and sour caramelised onions
is an easy to make condiment that will nicely compliment the patté or raw fish dish.
To make the caramelised onions, you will need
finely sliced onions, here I have 2 onions,
brown sugar, red wine vinegar, butter, salt and freshly ground peppercorns.
Peel and slice your onions, so here my onion is peeled ready and cut it in half.
Then you need to remove the core or the root side.
Just pick it up and discard that.
Then place the core side or the root side away from you and you are going to slice it, very thin.
Take the onions to the stove.
Heat a skillet on high heat, then add the butter.
Let the butter melt slowly.
Then add the onions.
Sauté the onions and allow the onions to cook for about 15-20 minutes
until totally soft and melted.
Sauté your onions regularly to have a uniform colouring process
or you may stir them with your spatula.
Ok. The onions are well coloured. They are cooked.
So then add the brown sugar.
Mix well to allow the sugar to melt down.
You may sauté them.
Cook the onions for about another 5 minutes with the sugar.
Season with salt and pepper.
So the sugar now is caramelising.
Sauté. Then deglaze with the red wine vinegar.
Allow the vinegar to reduce.
My onions are nicely golden brown now.
Taste. Hmm... delicious! Sweet and sour caramelised onions.
Perfect! Turn off the heat.
Transfer the onions into a bowl and allow them to cool down
before using them with your paté or marinated fish such as salmon tartare.
