How to Make Onion Compote With Wine

  1. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan or stew pan over medium heat.
  2. Add thinly sliced onions and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.
  3. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until onions are golden brown and caramelized, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat if they brown too quickly.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar and cook for 1 minute until dissolved.
  6. Add balsamic vinegar and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  7. Pour in the red wine and bring to a simmer.
  8. Add 1/4 cup of water.
  9. Cook uncovered over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the onions are very tender, stirring frequently.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add additional sugar (1 tablespoon at a time) if desired, cooking for another minute after each addition until you reach your preferred level of sweetness.
  11. Serve hot or cold. Enjoy!
