Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 large red onion chopped
- 2 cups chopped fresh Black Mission figs
- ¼ cup aged balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar or to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Stir the onion in the heated oil. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and cook, occasionally stirring, until the onion becomes soft and caramelized, which should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Mix the figs with the onion and stir them together until the figs start to break down and become soft, which should take approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar to the fig and onion mixture and continue cooking until all the liquid has evaporated, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, to the fig and onion mixture, adjusting the amount based on your desired level of sweetness. The dish can be served either warm or chilled.
