  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 medium white or brown onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  • 30g or 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 300ml heavy/double cream
  • 2 springs thyme
  • Nutmeg, as required

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating a heavy bottomed sauté pan on a medium heat. Add your butter and when melted, add the sliced onions. Cook the onions on a medium heat whilst stirring frequently. Once they begin to soften, reduce the heat and cover with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes ensuring that they’re stirred every few minutes so they don’t brown.
  2. Once the onions have softened and are translucent, add the sliced garlic. Cover and cook for 5 more minutes.
  3. Add their cream and thyme and stir to combine. Cook, covered for 10 minutes.
  4. Turn off the heat, remove the thyme and transfer the mixture to a high powered blender. Alternatively you can use an immersion blender.
  5. Pass through a fine sieve and season with salt. Add a bit of grated nutmeg and serve immediately.
