Ingredients

  • 3 medium onions peeled
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel the onions. Instructions on thinly slicing.
  • Add olive oil to a skillet and over medium-low heat. Add onions and stir them until coated with oil. Cook until tender and translucent, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in the sugar until it's dissolved. Add the bay leaf. Continue cooking, string occasionally, over low heat until the onions are caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Store the confit in the fridge in its oil. It will keep up to 1 month if stored properly. Add this onion jam to your favorite dishes, and you won’t have to worry about storing it because it will be gone much sooner than that.
