Recipe for sous vide onion compote (onion marmalade)

Onion compote is something that can be used in many different contexts, for example, spread in a sandwich, on top of cold cuts or cheese, or as a delicious counterpoint to a really good steak. It can also be used in the sweet kitchen, and it is generally an element that can contribute with a good tangy-sweet richness.

Onion compote is very similar to “regular” fruit marmalade, but since it is made with onions, it has both a sweet and tangy taste, along with a delightful richness from the oil.

By preparing it sous vide, the flavors are really pressed into the ingredients.

Ingredients

• 6 Red Onion
• 54 gram Olive Oil
• 100 gram Apple Cider Vinegar
• 64 gram Balsamic Vinegar
• 50 gram Sugar
• 18 gram Fresh thyme
• 42 gram Honey
• Salt and Pepper from the grinder

Instructions

• 1. Slice the onion.
  2. Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl and then put it in the vacuum bag.
  3. Vacuum seal the bag, so it wraps tightly around the ingredients.
  4. Place the bag in the water bath for 2 hours at 85 degrees Celsius (185 degrees Fahrenheit). Less time will give the onions more texture, while more time will make them softer.
  5. Take the bag out of the water and let it cool down a bit before placing it in the refrigerator.
  6. Keep it refrigerated until serving - preferably for many hours. As long as the bag is not opened, it can be stored for several weeks in the fridge. Transfer to a jar when the bag is opened.
