Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium-sized, finely diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the powdered erythritol over the onions and stir to combine, allowing the sweetness to meld with the onions.
Add the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos) to the skillet. Stir well to incorporate.
Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
