Dinner Tonight: Quick, Light French Onion Soup might be just the Mediterranean recipe you are searching for. One serving contains 655 calories, 29g of protein, and 23g of fat. This recipe serves 4. It works well as a pretty expensive main course for Autumn. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes about 45 minutes. If you have gruyere cheese, chicken stock, onions, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the dry white wine you could follow this main course with the White Wine Frozen Yogurt as a dessert.

Combine the onions, wine, butter, and a large pinch of salt in a baking dish and cook, uncovered, until the wine is absorbed almost completely into the onions, and they are tender and golden, 45 minutes or perhaps a little longer.

Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy

Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy are my top picks for French. French wine is just as diverse as French food, but you rarely go wrong with champagne. If your meal calls for a white wine, you might also try a white burgundy. For a red, try a red bordeaux blend. The Chateau Bellevue Peycharneau Bordeaux Superieur with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
