Simply Steak and Zucchini

Sunday 18 November

Simply simple and pan-fried: two loin steaks and a couple of sliced zucchini with red onions. 

And while we had the red onions out, we made up a batch of confit for the big celebration day after tomorrow. 

Dora helped us find some websites, but the best recipe was in New Joy.

Red Onion Marmalade

Combine in a non-reactive saucepan over low heat:

3½ large red onions, quartered and cut into 1/4-inch slices

⅓ cup dry red wine

⅓ cup red wine vinegar

¼ cup packed light brown sugar

¼ cup honey

Simmer, stirring often, for 30 minutes.  Then stir in:

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

1 Tablespoon orange juice

Continue to simmer until juices are absorbed and consistency is thick. Let cool, cover, and chill.  Makes about 2 cups, and keeps in a jar in the fridge pretty well for up to 3 weeks.
