Onion marmalade with red wine is a refined and aromatic side dish that comes from European culinary tradition. Its deep flavor combines the sweetness of caramelized onions, the richness of red wine, and a subtle acidity from vinegar. Grenadine adds a light fruity note, while butter softens the texture. This marmalade pairs wonderfully with cheeses and meat dishes, especially duck or beef, and can also be an unexpected addition to sandwiches or appetizers. Its rich and complex taste makes it a favorite among gourmets who appreciate the balance of sweetness and spiciness. The ease of preparation and sophistication of the result make onion marmalade an ideal choice for special occasions or gastronomic experiments.
