Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon chopped into lardons
- ½ yellow onion thinly sliced
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes julienne-cut (not packed in oil)
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Over medium low heat, in a 2 quart pan slowly cook the bacon to render the fat.
- After about 5 minutes, drain the accumulated fat. Then add the onions, tomatoes, garlic and all the spices (everything except the vinegar & water). Continue to cook the ingredients together until the onions and tomatoes soften - about 15 minutes
- Add the red wine vinegar and water. Continue to slowly cook over medium-low heat, string every five to ten minutes until all the liquid has evaporated, 45-50 minutes or so. Yes....this is a labor of love, but it's seriously worth it at the end!
- When complete, it will have the consistency of relish - not too much liquid. It will be thick and rich.
