Red Onion Marmalade

Red Onion Marmalade a.k.a. Onion Jam is something I've wanted to make ever since I had the short rib at Fiamma in Las Vegas. They used Red Onion Marmalade on toast as a garnish for the braised short rib. Now that I have Braised Pot Roast leftovers I decided to make the onion marmalade.

There are lots of ways to use a red onion marmalade besides as a garnish. You can add some cream to the mixture and make a sauce or use it as a spread on sandwiches.

Ingredients:
1 medium-large red onion, thinly sliced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine
1 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp.  red wine vinegar
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar

Directions:

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet, over medium heat. Add the onions, thyme sprigs, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, covered, until the onions have wilted, about 10 to 15 minutes, (give them a stir every now and then with a wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking).

2. Add the red wine, and simmer over high heat until most of the wine gets absorbed into the onions. About 5 minutes.

3. Add the honey, balsamic and red wine vinegar and simmer gently until the onions get jam-like, about, about 15 minutes.
