5 to 8 sage leaves

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

3 1/2 tablespoons dry red wine

2 teaspoons of honey or maple sugar

1 dried red chile (optional)

salt and fresh ground black pepper

 

Peel onions and half lengthwise, then quarter.

Rinse sage and pull off leaves and cut into thin

strips.

Heat oil in a skillet, stir in onions and sage and

saute for 2 minutes.

Combine balsamic vinegar, red wine and 1/4 cup water,

to the onions and sage along with the honey and the

whole dried chile. Mix and season with salt and

pepper. Simmer over mediun heat for about 3 to 5

minutes, then remove the chile and simmer for another

5 minutes.

Transfer everything to a bowl along with any remaining

liquid.

Let cool and cover, refrigerate for at least 8 hours

so flavors blend.

Serve at room temperature.
