Croatian White Onion Sauce Recipe

Croatian White Onion Sauce Recipe

  • 1 onion, peeled and quartered
  • 3/4 cup water, or more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon sunflower seed oil
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  1. Bring onion and water to a boil in a saucepan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer onion and water to a blender; puree until smooth.
  2. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until flour has turned golden and begins to smell like toast, about 20 minutes.
  3. Stir onion puree into flour paste. Cook and stir until thickened to sauce consistency, adding more water if necessary, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine vinegar and salt.
