Red Onion Sauce

1 serving

30 minutes

Red onion sauce is a refined element of European cuisine that combines the sweet and sour notes of balsamic vinegar with the rich flavor of red onion and the aroma of fresh herbs. Its roots trace back to medieval Europe, where the combination of acidity and spices was used to add depth to dishes. This sauce perfectly complements meat, fish, and vegetables, adding a rich flavor and sophisticated texture. It is quick to prepare: red onion and garlic are combined with balsamic vinegar, oregano, parsley, and black pepper, then simmered until soft. The resulting sauce has a smooth consistency and a rich flavor that unfolds with each bite. An ideal complement to roasted or baked meat, it also pairs well with fresh bread or a cheese platter.
