DAVID TANIS'S ONION CONFIT
The French word "confit" usually refers to food that is slowly cooked in some kind of fat. Originally, confit was a method used for preserving meat, typically duck, goose or pork. When stored and cooled in earthenware crocks, a layer of fat on top kept the food from spoiling by sealing out air. Onion confit, on the other hand, is a savory preparation of sliced onions, cooked to a soft, almost melting consistency, often seasoned with salt, herbs, sugar and vinegar for a somewhat sweet-and-sour effect. Sometimes called onion marmalade, a spoonful or two makes a perfect accompaniment to roasted meats. It may also be used to make onion tarts or pizzas, or as a "bed" for baked fish. The mixture will last for a week or so, refrigerated. To use, reheat gently over low heat.

Steps:
- Cut onions in half from top to bottom (not crosswise). With a paring knife, peel each onion half. Lay each onion half flat side down. Holding the knife at a slight angle, cut away and discard the hard root end. Using a sharp knife, cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Put a large heavy-bottomed pot, preferably enameled cast iron, over medium-high heat. Melt butter, then add all the sliced onions and stir to coat. Sprinkle with sugar and season generously with salt and pepper. Continue stirring until onions begin to wilt and soften, without browning, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add bay leaves, thyme, cayenne, vinegar and wine. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onion mixture is quite soft and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove and discard bay leaves and thyme. Serve warm.

CROCK POT ONION CONFIT
I've found that a crock pot is the perfect vehicle for creating the perfect onion confit. Don't use fresh, sweet onions for this, due to the lengthy cooking time. Please realize that this recipe is only a basic framework; your mileage may vary, so adjust accordingly! Length of crock pot cooking time is roughly 18 hours. Don't take them out until they are very dark and reduced, almost gelatinous in texture. Onion confit is fantastic on pizzas, as a sandwich spread, as an appetizer with thinly-sliced baguettes, etc. It makes a killer, quickie-base for French onion soup, too.

Steps:
- If you don't have demi-glace, take 2 cups good-quality stock and reduce to 1/2 cup.
- Place everything in crock pot and thoroughly combine.
- Turn to high, until just before going to bed (about eight hours).
- Stir.
- Turn to low for overnight.
- Upon waking, stir, and turn back to high until finished.
- Water content will vary from onion to onion, so if your confit is still quite watery towards the end, remove lid and allow excess water to cook off.
- This will keep for at least two weeks, covered, in the refrigerator.

ONION AND SHALLOT CONFIT
Slow-cooking onions in olive oil brings out their sweetness, which is offset by the acidity of the tomatoes and vinegar. This confit is wonderful with grilled meats. You'll want to keep some on hand all summer.

- Bake until onions are very tender, about 2 1/4 hours. Uncover, and bake until onions are slightly golden around edges, about 15 minutes more. Stir in vinegar, and let shallots and onions cool slightly in oil. Before serving, discard herb sprigs. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Serve with pesto over grains or alongside roasted meats. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Slow Cooker" (Clarkson Potter).
