Red Onion And Shallot Marmalade

It's easier to peel the shallots if you blanch them first in boiling water for about 5 minutes.

Courses: Sauces

Recipe Ingredients

1 tablespoon 15mlButter or oil
1 tablespoon 15mlRed onion - thinly sliced (large)
5 tablespoons 75mlShallots - (to 6) - peeled, sliced (medium)
3/4 teaspoon 3.8mlSalt
1 teaspoon 5mlDry mustard
1 teaspoon 5mlGrated lemon or lime zest
2 tablespoons 30mlFresh lemon or lime juice

Recipe Instructions

Melt the butter or heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet. Add the onion and shallots, and saute over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in the salt and mustard, lower the heat, and saute for another 20 minutes.

Cover, turn the heat way down, and cook for another 45 minutes. The onions and shallots will become very soft. Turn up the heat to medium, cover again, and cook for a final 5 minutes or so.

Remove from the heat, and stir in the lemon or lime zest and juice. Serve at room temperature or cold. The marmalade will keep for several weeks if stored in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator or freezer. Serve with "Root Vegetable Soup" (see recipe).

This recipe yields 1/2 cup.
