Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 large Vidalia onion -- roughly chopped
9 garlic cloves -- roughly chopped
1/2 cup water
salt and freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste

Combine the onion, garlic, and water in a microwaveable-safe bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl tightly, and microwave on high for 10 minutes.

Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until it is completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours.

Makes 1 cup (4 quarter-cup servings).

This aromatic puree is designed to be a base ingredient and is a great way to build flavor and texture without adding fat. It eliminates the need to add a lot of butter and cream.

ChupaNote: This is a great condiment to keep in the fridge. I use whatever left-over broth or stock I have in place of the water and add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes for extra layers of flavor.
