Onion Butter Without Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Place a small amount of dark sesame oil in a heavy pot and heat up.
• Add the onions and a small pinch of sea salt.
• Sauté the onions, stirring constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
• Add enough water to just cover the onions.
• Bring to a boil, reduce the flame to low, and simmer several hours until the onions become dark brown in color and very sweet in flavor.
• Occasionally during the cooking process, you may need to add small amounts of water to prevent burning.
• When the onions butter is done, allow to cool completely before placing it in a tightly sealed jar and refrigerating.
• Use immediately or store.
• Instead of using onions, finely chopped carrots, squash, apples, or other fruits and vegetables may be used.
• To avoid the use of oil, the water-sautéing method may be used instead.
• At the end of cooking, tamari or pureed miso can be used for a different flavor.
