Topping Essentials: Tomato and Caramelized Onions image

Served this the other day on some "stacked" oven-baked ribeye. This is a spicy tomato/onion recipe that is a cross between a jam, and a chutney. At least that is how I interrupt it. It is awesome as a topping on a good beef steak, a juicy pork chop. How about serving it with cream cheese on crackers, or toast points as an hors d'oeuvres, or appetizer. I even used it to top a big pile of garlic mash potatoes. So yummy. Happy Saturday, and Happy Dining (((Love and Hugs)))

Number Of Ingredients 10

PLAN/PURCHASE
2 large yellow onions
1 - 2 clove(s) garlic minced
2 tablespoon(s) coconut sugar
1 tablespoon(s) chili powder, hot, or mild, your choice
2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
1 pinch(es) cayenne pepper
1 - 2 tablespoon(s) balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon(s) apple-cider vinegar
14 ounce(s) fired-roasted, diced tomatoes, 1 can

Steps:

  • This recipe requires that you caramelize the onions. Rather than repeat those steps, I have a very good recipe on this site, and here is the link: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/master-class-caramelizing-onions.html?r=3
  • PREP/PREPARE
  • Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Thinly cut the onions into halfmoons, and caramelize. Use your own method, or the above recipe link.
  • When the onions are fully caramelized, add the coconut sugar, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, and balsamic vinegar.
  • Stir at a simmer, for 2 minutes.
  • Finally, add the apple-cider vinegar, and fire-roasted tomatoes; including the juices from the can.
  • Continue to simmer, and cook, stirring frequently, until it reduces, and thickens, about 10 - 12 minutes (depending on the heat of your pan).
  • Allow to cool, then store in the refrigerator, using a non-reactive container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Chef's Note: Bring to room temperature before using.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Place on crackers with some cream cheese, and serve as an appetizer, or use as a topping for beef or pork. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
