Caramelized Onions with Spanish Chorizo in Red Wine Sauce

So sweet, so juicy, so good…👨‍🍳 Bricknic Chef's Recommendation

Caramelized Onions with Spanish Chorizo in Red Wine Sauce

Ingredients:

• 300g large onions, thinly sliced

• 100g Spanish chorizo, diced

• 240ml red wine (choose a good-quality wine)

• 30g olive oil

• 15g butter

• 20g brown sugar

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh thyme leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Onions:

   • Heat the olive oil and butter in the Bricknic Cooking Brick over medium heat.

   • Add the thinly sliced onions to the brick and sauté until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.

2. Caramelize the Onions:

   • Sprinkle brown sugar over the onions, stir to coat evenly, and reduce the heat to low.

   • Continue cooking the onions, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and caramelized. This process may take 20-30 minutes. Be patient; slow caramelization yields the best flavor.

3. Add Chorizo:

   • Once the onions are caramelized, add the diced Spanish chorizo to the brick.

   • Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the chorizo to release its flavorful oils and blend with the sweet caramelized onions.

4. Pour in Red Wine:

   • Pour the red wine into the brick, scraping the bottom to deglaze and incorporate any caramelized bits.

   • Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce and the flavors to meld.

5. Season and Garnish:

   • Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Keep in mind that chorizo can be salty, so taste before adding too much salt.

   • Garnish with fresh thyme leaves for an aromatic touch.

6. Serve:

   • Serve the caramelized onions and chorizo in red wine sauce as a topping for grilled bread, over creamy polenta, or as a side dish for meats. This flavorful combination also works well as a tapas dish.
