Onion Sauce Recipe - Salsa di Cipolle

By , About.com Guide

This onion sauce from Trentino Alto Adige will perk up boiled meats or starchy vegetables along the lines of potatoes. In short, a tasty addition to the winter table.

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup (50 g) unsalted butter
  • 4 roasted onions
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) breadcrumbs
  • The juice of a lemon
  • 2 tablespoons good vinegar
  • A ladle of broth
  • A bay leaf (to be removed)
  • A clove (to be removed)
  • 1 tablespoon capers packed in brine, rinsed

Preparation:

Slice the onions. Melt the butter in a pot and add the onions and breadcrumbs. Mix well, cook for a few minutes, and then add the lemon juice and the vinegar, followed by the capers. As soon as all returns to a simmer fish out and discard the bay leaf and the clove, then put the remainder though a strainer, or blend it, and it's ready for use, hot or warm.
