Boudin Blanc Terrine With Red Onion Confit Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the bread crumbs in the cream until soft.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine well. Grind all ingredients twice in a meat grinder fitted with a 3/16-inch plate. Case in hog casings. Saute, grill, or poach.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
• Add the red onions. Do not stir. Let the onions turn light brown, then turn and brown on the other side.
• When the onions are browned, add the balsamic vinegar and orange rind.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the liquid is almost gone.

Steps:

• Cut onions in half from top to bottom (not crosswise). With a paring knife, peel each onion half. Lay each onion half flat side down. Holding the knife at a slight angle, cut away and discard the hard root end. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
• Put a large heavy-bottomed pot, preferably enameled cast iron, over medium-high heat. Melt butter, then add all the sliced onions and stir to coat. Sprinkle with sugar and season generously with salt and pepper. Continue stirring until onions begin to wilt and soften, without browning, about 5 to 8 minutes.
• Add bay leaves, thyme, cayenne, vinegar and wine. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onion mixture is quite soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove and discard bay leaves and thyme. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oil over low heat in a medium saute pan. Cook the onions, stirring often, until very soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add wine, vinegar, water, and sugar, and raise heat to medium. Cook uncovered for about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
