Recipe: Ukrainian Honey-Onion Sauce (Lukovey Vzhar)

UKRAINIAN HONEY-ONION SAUCE
(LUKOVEY VZHAR)

"This is a traditional sauce that is used with many dishes. It is great with vegetables, better with meats, and will keep refrigerated for 5-7 days or frozen for 3-4 months."

1/4 cup sunflower oil
3 large onions, quartered and thinly sliced
1/2 tsp finely minced garlic
3/4 cup beef stock
1 1/2 tbsp honey
4 tsp cider vinegar
1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, add the onions and garlic. Saute, stirring frequently and cook for 20 minutes.

Add the stock, raise the heat to high, and cook for approximately 7 minutes until the liquid is reduced by 1/2.

Add the honey, vinegar and mustard; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes.

Serve warm but not hot.
