Caramelised Red Onion Recipe

This is different to my onion jam that I have posted here previously. I love anything that has onion cooked in it and these are two of my favourite ones. This is great to put on top of barbecued steak or on top of mashed sweet potato. You can exchange the red onions for brown ones if you prefer. Do not brown the onions too much in the first stage of cooking them.

INGREDIENTS:

4 medium size red onions - thinly sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/3 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup beef stock
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
50g butter - do not use margarine

METHOD:

Melt butter in large frying pan or wok. Add onion and cook over low heat for about 25 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add sugar and cook for another 5 minutes or until oinion has caramelised.
Add wine, stock and vinegar and bring to the boil then remove from the heat.
