Instructions

Slice the onions into small, thin, wedge-shaped pieces.

Ingredients you will need

Onion

Heat the rapeseed oil in a large, preferably non-stick, saut or deep frying pan. Stir in the onions and fry over a medium heat for about 20 mins. Stir only occasionally so they can cook fairly undisturbed and caramelise underneath. When done, they should be well caramelised and sticky.

Recommended wine: Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine

Sparkling rosé and Sparkling Wine are my top picks for Onion Tart. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Ca' Furlan Cuvee Mariana Sparkling rosé with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
