Ingredients

  • 1/2 Tsp of Coriander Seeds, Whole
  • 1/2 Tsp of Cumin Seeds, Whole
  • 1 Tsp of Mustard Seeds, Whole
  • 2 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 Large Vidalia Onions, Sliced
  • 1 Tsp of Instant Espresso Powder

  • 2 Tbsp of Seasoned Rice Vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp of Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1-2 Tbsp of Water
  • 1 Tsp of Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 Tsp of Ground Black Pepper

Preparation

Heat the seeds in a small pan over medium heat, toasting until slightly aromatic. Remove and transfer to a spice grinder, pulsing until seeds are cracked but not ground!

Add olive oil and heat over medium/low in a large saucepan and add the sliced Vidalia onions.

Cook onions, moving around with a spoon occasionally until they become caramelized, browned, and translucent, then add the remaining ingredients.

Reduce to a simmer and allow to cook until desired flavor and viscosity are achieved.

Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Store in an air tight container or mason jar in the fridge and use when needed.
