ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• Thinly slice the onions by first cutting in half, then removing the core at an angle. Thinly slice the onions like a fan. Over medium heat, add the oil followed by the onions. The onions will start to sweat and cook down, releasing their liquid. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring every 2-3 minutes until the moisture is gone, 20 minutes or more as needed, depending on moisture level of the onions.
• When all of the moisture's been cooked out of the onions, turn the heat back to medium, add the sugar, a pinch of salt, and the vinegar and bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar and combine. Turn the heat to low and reduce until the mixture is a thick jam, about 45 minutes.

WHOLE ROASTED BABY FLOUNDER WITH SWEET ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• To prepare the marmalade, bring the onions and stock to a simmer in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let gently simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, put the cream in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes or until the cream reduces by half.
• Uncover the onions, add the salt and pepper, and increase the heat to medium. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the liquid begins to get syrupy. The onions should be very slightly browned. Stir in the reduced cream and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the mixture is a little thicker than heavy cream.
• Add the vinegar, stir to combine well, and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to meld the flavors. Keep warm while cooking the fish. (Cooled and then tightly covered, the marmalade will keep in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.)
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rinse the flounder and pat dry. In a shallow plate, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge both sides of the flounder in the seasoned flour, shaking to remove the excess.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter begins to sizzle. One at a time, carefully lay the flounder in the skillet, white-skin side down. After 2 minutes, sneak a peak at the bottom side to make sure it is browning without burning, but don't be timid--a nice nutty brown is good. Carefully turn the flounder with a spatula and cook about 2 minutes or until browned. Transfer the fish to a baking sheet large enough to hold them all in a single layer.
• Roast the flounder in the top third of the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes, depending on their size. Look closely: the inside of the fish should be just flaky and opaque. It is important not to overcook them. While the fish are roasting, warm the marmalade to a simmer. Place the fish on warm serving plates, top with the warm sauce, and serve immediately.

Add steaks and cook 2 minutes per side, until browned. In a small bowl, mix together orange marmalade, onions and Worcestershire sauce. Add mixture to steaks and bring to a simmer. Simmer 5 minutes, until sauce thickens and steaks are cooked through.

TOMATO-SWEET ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Using a small sharp knife cut an "X" in the core of each tomato. Place tomatoes in boiling water and cook until skins begin to split, 30 to 60 seconds. Drain and immediately transfer to ice-water bath. Peel tomatoes and coarsely chop; set aside.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking until onions are softened, about 5 minutes more. Add chopped tomatoes, lemon zest, lemon juice, vinegar, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons water to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a medium bowl. Refrigerate until chilled.

RED ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• Halve and thinly slice the onions, then thinly slice the garlic. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a high heat. Tip in the onions and garlic and give them a good stir so they are glossed with butter. Sprinkle over the sugar, thyme leaves, chilli flakes if using and some salt and pepper. Give everything another really good stir and reduce the heat slightly. Cook uncovered for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions are ready when all their juices have evaporated, they're really soft and sticky and smell of sugar caramelising. They should be so soft that they break when pressed against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. Slow cooking is the secret of really soft and sticky onions, so don't rush this part.
• Pour in the wine, vinegar and port and simmer everything, still uncovered, over a high heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring every so often until the onions are a deep mahogany colour and the liquid has reduced by about two-thirds. It's done when drawing a spoon across the bottom of the pan clears a path that fills rapidly with syrupy juice. Leave the onions to cool in the pan, then scoop into sterilised jars and seal. Can be eaten straight away, but keeps in the fridge for up to 3 months.
