Yields: | 2 servings |
Ingredients:
5 | Onions (red) | |
2 | tablespoons | Sesame oil |
2 | tablespoons | Sesame seeds |
2-3 | tablespoons | Sugar |
2 | tablespoons | White wine or cider |
2 | tablespoons | Vegetable stock |
2 | teaspoons | Caraway seeds |
4 | tablespoons | Cream |
Salt, pepper | ||
Nutmeg |
Preparation:
Peel the onions, cut into halves and slice them. Put the sesame seeds in a pot and roast them lightly. Add the oil and the onions. Braise the onions for about 10 minutes. Add the sugar and stir gently to caramelize the onions. Add some wine and vegetable stock; season with salt, pepper and ground caraway seeds. Add the cream and boil down the liquid, but not too much. Season to taste with ground nutmeg.
Notes:
– Unfortunately I did not have red onions; it would have looked more colourful.
– A strong cheese fits quite well. I used a pecorino sardo.
