Whiskey Onions

The Flavor Bible: The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity, Based on the Wisdom of America's Most Imaginative Chefs
Okay here is one of my favorite complements to red meat, pork, or wild game. Whiskey Onion recipe is so good I make it every time I grill. I even make Whiskey Onions when I make meat loaf for my Whiskey Onion Meat Loaf.
What you need.

5 to 6 onions about 1 lb each Vadalia onions are my favorite for this recipe

3/4 cup of red wine

1 cup whiskey what ever brand you like.

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper to taste

2 Tablespoons butter

2 Tablespoons oil

1. Slice your onions as thin as you like then in a large pan melt your butter and add the oil. Then add your onions and carmelize on medium heat to a deep brown but not burn onion.

2. When you got the onions to a nice color add rest of you ingredients. Reduce the Whiskey and wine to almost nothing.

Now you have a great onion side for steak, burgers, chops. You can also take and add the onions to a favorite meatloaf recipe.
Couple other things you can add to the Whiskey Onions

1. Jalapeno's add about 1 to 3 or if you like heat add more

2. Mushrooms

Add both while carmelizing onions
