You can buy these tiny sweet onions at local grocery stores, in the produce section in small net bags. They are delicious. This recipe originally called for the tongue of a calf. Yuck! I substituted seitan.
This recipe serves 2. It does not make a lot.
Ingredients: 1 package of White Wave "Wheat Meat" stir fry strips ( or I made my own seitan (wheat meat) and use about 2 cups) 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 pound cipolline onions, unpeeled 1 large carrot, cut into 1/4-inch disks 1 large rib celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 1/2 oranges, zested and juiced 1/8 cup red wine vinegar 1/2 cup "chicken" style veggie broth 1/2 cup basic tomato sauce, or spaghetti sauce (I use Classico Tomato-Basil and puree it in a food processor) 1/8 cup bunch Italian parsley, finely choppedInstructions:- In a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook, stirring regularly until lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the orange juice, vinegar, veggie broth and tomato sauce and bring to a boil. Add the sietan pieces and cook, uncovered, at a very low boil, until the liquid has reduced by 2/3, about 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle with parsley and the grated orange zest.
- Serve with crusty warm bread.
