How to Make Sage Onion Compote

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, to the saucepan. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are softened and beginning to caramelize, about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup of dry white wine (optional, can substitute with chicken broth), 2 tablespoons of fresh sage leaves (chopped), 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and serve warm as a topping for your favorite steak, burgers, or other grilled meats.
