Time 45m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 large onions, sliced in rings
2 teaspoons pomegranate concentrate (optional)
1/2 cup labneh (strained yogurt)
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 bunch fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat oil in nonstick frying pan, and add onions. Reduce heat to low, and cook very slowly, adding a little water if necessary, until onions become golden brown. This may take as long as 30 minutes. The longer you cook, the more flavor in your confit.
  • Remove onions to a bowl, and add pomegranate concentrate if desired, mixing well.
  • Place labneh in another bowl. Add coriander and salt and pepper to taste. Place dollop of labneh on each latke, and top it with the confit of onions topped with a fresh sprig of cilantro.

Labneh Dip with Caramelized Onions and Fennel image

Using labneh as its base, which is a thick and creamy Middle Eastern yogurt cheese, this dip mixes in deeply caramelized onions and fennel along with thyme and savory Worcestershire sauce. Serve it alongside some crackers and crudité for an easy yet impressive appetizer, or dollop it onto grilled chicken, lamb, or roasted eggplant.

16 ounces labneh or plain Greek yogurt

DAVID TANIS'S ONION CONFIT



David Tanis's Onion Confit image

The French word "confit" usually refers to food that is slowly cooked in some kind of fat. Originally, confit was a method used for preserving meat, typically duck, goose or pork. When stored and cooled in earthenware crocks, a layer of fat on top kept the food from spoiling by sealing out air. Onion confit, on the other hand, is a savory preparation of sliced onions, cooked to a soft, almost melting consistency, often seasoned with salt, herbs, sugar and vinegar for a somewhat sweet-and-sour effect. Sometimes called onion marmalade, a spoonful or two makes a perfect accompaniment to roasted meats. It may also be used to make onion tarts or pizzas, or as a "bed" for baked fish. The mixture will last for a week or so, refrigerated. To use, reheat gently over low heat.

Time 1h

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 pounds medium onions
6 tablespoons butter, duck fat or lard
2 teaspoons sugar
Salt and pepper
2 bay leaves
A few fresh thyme sprigs
Pinch of cayenne
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/2 cup dry white or red wine

Steps:

  • Cut onions in half from top to bottom (not crosswise). With a paring knife, peel each onion half. Lay each onion half flat side down. Holding the knife at a slight angle, cut away and discard the hard root end. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  • Put a large heavy-bottomed pot, preferably enameled cast iron, over medium-high heat. Melt butter, then add all the sliced onions and stir to coat. Sprinkle with sugar and season generously with salt and pepper. Continue stirring until onions begin to wilt and soften, without browning, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add bay leaves, thyme, cayenne, vinegar and wine. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onion mixture is quite soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove and discard bay leaves and thyme. Serve warm.
