Directions
Crock Pot Onion Confit, I’ve found that a crock pot is the perfect vehicle for creating the perfect onion confit Don’t use fresh, sweet onions for this, due to the lengthy cooking time Please realize that this recipe is only a basic framework; your mileage may vary, so adjust accordingly! Length of crock pot cooking time is roughly 18 hours Don’t take them out until they are very dark and reduced, almost gelatinous in texture Onion confit is fantastic on pizzas, as a sandwich spread, as an appetizer with thinly-sliced baguettes, etc It makes a killer, quickie-base for French onion soup, too , I’ve made onion confit many times, always using a crock pot The recipe has varied, from this one, to several of the others on Recipezaar, to a whole series from a 90 page discussion on onion confit at eGullet com!! The basic idea is onion + oil + aromatic(s) Aromatics have included white and/or red wines, champagne, cognac, herbs and spices (e g , rosemary), fruit (e g , oranges) The result is always amazing If you are adapting a different onion confit recipe to crockpot, remember that you will probably need to reduce the liquid you’re adding or increase the cooking time I’ve seen crockpot confit recipes that go out to 18-24 hours at low heat and the resulting confit is like liquid gold, whether on a pizza, as a base for onion soup, or as an accompaniment to a wonderful meat Thanks, s’kat, for a wonderful recipe and the basis for so many more!
