Beer Onions

These are fabulous. A friend introduced us to these when camping one weekend.

This may seem like a lot of cooking just for some onions, but once you have tasted them you will understand. The amounts in this recipe are good for a few people, but what a generally do is make a huge batch ahead of time if its a BBQ or what ever :)

1lb finely sliced onions
1oz butter
1tbs olive oil
125ml beer
1 tsp Balsamic Vinegar (optional)

melt butter and oil then add onions, stir well then put on a low heat for about 20 mins stirring occaisionally. Check they are melting and sweet. If not leave for a few minutes before checking again.

Once you are happy with their sweetness, turn heat back up a teeny bit to just between low and medium, and add beer & Balsamic (if using)
Stir well and leave for 20 mins until liquid has disappeared.

What are they good for.....
BBQ's
Sausage & Mash
Sausage Pie
Meat Wraps
cheese on toast

Also experiment with different beers! A honey beer is my favourite or a good gutsy ale, or Guinness, or anything you fancy really!
