Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large yellow onions
- 3 medium celery stalks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into thin ribbons about 1/8-inch thick.
Wash the celery stalks, trim the ends, and slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch pieces.
Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large, deep skillet or sauté pan over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the oil and butter. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and caramelize slightly.
Stir in the minced garlic and celery, and cook for another 3 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables, and stir to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and white wine (if using). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid.
Let the onions and celery braise for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and the liquid has mostly reduced to a flavorful glaze.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Remove from heat.
Transfer the braised onion ribbons with celery to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
