Ingredients and carb counts and helpful tips.
- Olive oil – enough to cover the bottom of the large pan.
- 3kg frozen sliced red onions 7.8g per 100g so in whole batch there were 234g of carbs – this is a lot.
- 300g of Truvia for baking – ideally brown 5.7g carbs of which are sugars, 92g are polyols so don’t count. Look at the graphic from dietdoctor.com: https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/keto/sweeteners This article may also be helpful: http://www.lowcarb.ca/tips/tips010.html
- 300ml white wine vinegar (if you have red, use that instead) less than 0.5g per 100
- 375ml port or red wine (I used port this time, have used red wine before, tastes just as good) 4 fl oz of port contains 4g carb. 375ml of port = 13 fl oz = 13g carbs
- 6tbsp balsamic vinegar – careful which one you use – these are really high in carbs. The one I used has 21.9g per 100. Total in recipe = 20g
- Salt and pepper – season as you go along and check – don’t forget, once you put in too much you can’t take it out!!
Total carbs in whole recipe = 282g
Sterilizing your jars
To sterilise your jars, put clean, dry jars on a baking tray and into a cold oven. Heat to 150°C/Gas 1-2 then heat for a minimum of 15 minutes. Fill the hot onion mixture into hot jars straight from the oven; fill right to the top and use a skewer to poke out any air holes. Then screw on the lids and turn upside down for 10 minutes to sterilise the lids.
Method:
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the onions and cook very gently for 30-45 minutes. If using frozen onions there will be more liquid so simmer until most of the liquid has gone, stirring now and then, until very soft and caramelising.
- Add a third of the sugar and cook for another 15 minutes.
- Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Simmer on your lowest heat until the liquid has reduced and the onions are dark and sticky. This will depend on your pan, approx. 30-45 mins. You should be able to run a wooden spoon through and leave the pan clean underneath.
- Pot while hot into warm sterilised jars and seal with vinegar-proof lids. Store in a cool dry place and use within 3 months. Keep in the fridge once opened and use within a couple of weeks.
Best Moments
- “It’s so much easier, saves lots and lots of tears ... it really makes my nose run and my eyes stream!”
- “It takes a long time this one. But, it is so worth it, my next door neighbour, Barbara is going to love me because I’m going to take her a jar.”
- “Just let it simmer down until there’s barely any liquid left.”
