Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 onion
Cooking Fats and Sauces:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) marmalade
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
Seasonings:
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Transform yellow onions into slender, elongated ribbons by slicing them with precision.
- Gently melt butter in a wide-bottomed skillet, maintaining a gentle low heat to prevent burning.
- Introduce the onion strips into the melted butter, allowing them to caramelize slowly while stirring intermittently over 10-12 minutes.
- Pour marmalade into the pan, stirring carefully to ensure each onion strand becomes glossed with the sweet, citrusy preserve.
- Splash Worcestershire sauce into the mixture, creating a rich, tangy undertone that will intensify during a prolonged 55-60 minute simmering process.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to elevate the flavor profile.
- Transfer the luxuriously soft, amber-tinted onion compote to a serving dish, presenting it while still radiating warmth.
Notes
- Caramelize slowly to develop deep, rich sweetness without burning the onions.
- Use a wide pan to ensure even cooking and maximum surface area for better flavor development.
- Choose a marmalade with some citrus chunks for extra texture and bright, zesty undertones.
- Reduce heat to lowest setting during long simmering to prevent scorching and maintain smooth consistency.
