Calories: 18kcal
Ingredients
- 2 medium yellow onions (enough for about 2 cups)
- 2 Tbsps butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ¼ cup 18% cream
- ½ cup water plus more if you want to thin your sauce at the end
Instructions
- Grill onion slices over medium high heat until they are charred slightly. This may take about 20 minutes. Turn onion slices over once the first side is becoming blackened.
- Remove from grill and set aside. Heat butter in saucepan, add the grilled onions and salt and pepper. Turn the heat down and sweat the onions for 4-5 minutes. Add the cream and water and simmer about 25 minutes until onions are completely soft and cream has thickened slightly.
- Transfer the onion cream mixture to blend and blend until very smooth. If the sauce is too thick add a bit of water until you get the consistency you want.
- The strength of your blender may impact the degree of smoothness you attain. If not very smooth you may want to strain the sauce over a fine sieve to get rid of any lumps. (Optional).
- Serve warm with baked potatoes or meat of your choice.
