Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 ounce butter
1 medium red onion -- (peeled and thinly sliced)
1 teaspoon brown sugar -- heaped
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar -- good quality
1 tablespoon thyme leaves -- to taste
pepper

For the onion confit, melt the butter in a non-stick pan, fry the onions until browning, then add the sugar and let caramelize. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and cook over a low heat, enough for the onions to soften through and the vinegar to lose its edge. This should take about 15 minutes. Add the thyme leaves and season to taste.
The confit will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a week.

Makes 1/4 cups (4 one-tablespoon servings)

Excellent on gorgonzola quichettes.
