Drunken Onions

[Guest guest]

Sweet onions are sauteed in a wine and wine vinegar sauce flavored with

garlic. The onions become sweet and caramelized. This is a fast and easy

side dish that is absolutely delicious. It is equally delicious using leeks

instead of sweet onions.

 

Ingredients:

•2 Tablespoons butter

•6 to 8 small leeks, or 3 med onions sliced, trimmed and washed

•1 clove garlic, crushed

•1/2 cup red wine

•1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

•2 Tablespoons parsley, chopped

•Dash salt

•Black pepper

Preparation:

Melt the butter and cook the onions and garlic for 3 minutes over medium

heat.

 

Add the red wine and some salt and mix well. Cover and cook for 15 more

minutes or until onions are tender.

 

Place the onions on a serving dish and reduce the liquid left in the pan for

2 minutes.

 

Add the wine vinegar and pepper to taste. Pour over the onions and garnish

with parsley.

 

Yield: 3 to 4 servings
