I created this simple recipe with seasonal ingredients, adding all the spices I love to make it fully mine! Here are all the ingredients you’ll need…

Bread and onions was once a sign of absolute poverty, there was no food poorer than this: in spring, when the ground was hoed in preparation for the summer vegetable garden, onions were carefully harvested. Even the 'reborn onions', those that reappear on some onion residue that escaped during harvesting, were collected by farmers.

In late summer, dried and freed of the external skin and dipped in salt, bite after bite, they were consumed with bread. Bread and onion, in fact, was always known as the true food of the poor.

Onions are a generous and multifaceted vegetable. They have always been, and still are, the queens of the Italian kitchen.

We grow and love many varieties, from the white one from Isernia to the red one from Tropea, to our traditional golden onion, or spring onion, without forgetting Spanish onions and Borettana. They can be large and flat, long or perfectly round, very small or gigantic. Many shapes, many colors, many uses. Onions look good everywhere, you might say they are a bit like parsley, in fact, more indispensable than parsley!

Onions are a “poor” ingredient that is easy to find and not expensive at all, and yet they seem to make every recipe better!

Even on their own, there are many surprising recipes giving onions the protagonist’s role on our table: today I want to share a perfect autumn recipe. This simple red onion jam is perfect to accompany your cheese board for an Italian Aperitivo, or to add a delicious and unique taste to a fragrant bruschetta. You only need four ingredients and some clean glass jars!
