Vidalia Onion Confit

Ingredients

• 6 Vidalia Onions, chopped (about 1 ½ pounds)
  
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
  
• ½ teaspoon firmly packed dark brown sugar
  
• Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
• ¼ cup dry red wine
  
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  

Directions

1. In a large cast iron skillet, heat the oils over medium heat. Add the onions, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes.
   
2. Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the wine and reduce the heat to medium-low after 2 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the onions begin to caramelize and turn golden brown. Stir in the thyme and serve over toast, chicken, or pork. Yields about 2 cups of onion confit.
