French Onion Recipe

ENGLISH RECIPE

INGREDIENTS:

100g butter
8 onions sliced
1 tbsp fresh thyme
120ml sherry wine
1L brown chicken or veal stock
salt and pepper
Approx 16 slices of baguette
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
100g grated Swiss cheese, Cheddar or Gruyere

METHOD:

Start by placing a pan on a high heat on the stove. Add the butter and let it melt. Just before it starts to brown, add about one third of the onions and stir slightly, just to let them settle. Let them sweat for about 5 minutes. When they start to brown, add another batch of onions. Repeat until all the onions are brown and well-caramelised, approximately after 20 minutes. The onions can be caramelised in small or large batches, depending on the size of the pot.

When the onions are nicely caramelized, add the sherry, the thyme and the chicken stock and season with salt and pepper. Scrape the bottom of the pan to integrate the residues from the caramelised onions that are stuck to the pan. Now stir the mixture, bring it to a simmer and let it cook for about 20 minutes.

You can now set the oven to its grill setting. Place slices of the bread on a tray and taking the garlic, rub each slice individually. Turn the pieces and repeat for the other side. Next, brush olive oil on each piece, season slightly with salt and pepper, turn them, and season as before. Place in oven for a minute until brown. Turn them to the other side and grill for another minute.

Next, skim the foam that has gathered on the surface of the soup and remove the french onion soup from the heat. Carefully spoon the soup into oven-resistant soup bowls. Now place a few of your freshly-made croutons on top and cover them with heaping amounts of grated cheese. Place in the oven for a minute, just until the cheese is melted.

Serves 4-6
