Graham kerr's basic brown onion sauce

Yield: 4 Servings

Measure Ingredient
¼ teaspoon Olive oil; extra-light
1 dash Sesame oil; toasted or dark
2 larges Onions; thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Dill seed
1 teaspoon Caraway seed
1 cup Beef stock; reduced fat
1 cup De-alcoholized dry red wine
1 tablespoon Arrowroot; mixed with
2 tablespoons De-alcoholized dry red wine

Pour the oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, dill and caraway and cook, uncovered, 5 minutes, without stirring. Do not burn. The idea is to get the onions to caramelize and brown fully at frying temperature without stirring. After 5 minutes the onions should be brown.

Add stock and wine and quickly scrape up all the pan residues into the liquid until the bottom of thep an is clean; simmer 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the arrowroot slurry, return to the heat and stir until thickened. Use as a sauce for meats or poultry; good as bread spread and nice as a dollop for soup.

Notes: *Sweet taste, dark glossy finsh and less than 1 gram of fat per serving. *If you like French onion soup, you'll love this. *Use half or less of the wine and supplement with concentrated mushroom stock (i.e., bouillon/base).
