Spicy Onion Paste
Instructions:
- 3 medium-sized onions
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tbsp black pepper

- Cut the onions in very thin slices but do not chop them
- Heat extra virgin olive oil and butter in a pan, add the onion slices and coarsely ground black pepper and let simmer at very low heat for 45 minutes, while occasionally stirring.
- Add balsamic vinegar and continue the simmering for another 5-10 minutes.
- Let the paste cool overnight in the refrigerator.
- The paste can best be served as a condiment to, e.g. plaice or paté.
