Still On The Taleggio Kick

[cjs]

Found an idea for a grilled sandwich using Taleggio cheese and an onion jam. Found an onion jam recipe from an old Bon Appetit -

Onion jam

1 1/2 pounds red onions -- very thinly sliced
2 cups dry red wine
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

For onion jam:
Combine onions, wine, honey, and thyme in large skillet. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until wine is almost absorbed, stirring occasionally, about 55 minutes. Mix in red wine vinegar.

Simmer 10 minutes to blend flavors, adding water by tablespoonfuls to moisten if jam is dry and stirring often (onions will still be slightly crunchy). Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.

Before using, rewarm over medium heat until just
warm, adding more water by tablespoonfuls if jam is dry.)

Just found this thread and it sounds wonderful Jean!--love this cheese--my cheese monger daughter at Central Market, Austin, brought it to us.  I've posted this combo before, but we made a roasted red bell pepper/chipotle soup and served it for brunch with plain telleggio cheese toast--sinfull!! This cheese doesn't need much help or garnish, it just doesn't last long.

Hey, I got side-tracked from this, but not the Taleggio - I still grab it every chance I get. Thanks for bringing it up, Bill

Sorry to be so "rural", but where could I find this? Does it have another name? Something similiar that I might could find here, in the market of the mundane or maybe at the Winnebago store????

It's not easy to find--places like a cheeseshop, we get ours when we drive 70 miles to Houston or 90 miles to Austin and go to Central Market, so it's not an everyday thing--but worth it!! It is a semi soft Italian, very rich!! Pick it up when you're in the right place.

[cjs]

yes, to what he said.

[farnfam]

will do!!!!!
