Another great appetizer to serve at holiday gatherings is a mixture of slow sauteed( carmelized) onions and mushrooms - any will work - I used baby portobellas. Start w/ olive oil and finely diced onions and simmer until they are golden, add butter and garlic, chopped mushrooms, parsley and sage and continue simmering. You can't rush the process or you will burn the butter. This is slow cooking at it's best - always take it slow when carmelizing onions or they will burn. You are bringing out the natural golden sugar in the onion. Sweet. Oh - one part onion to 4 parts mushrooms. You may finish them off w/ a little white wine, brandy, or cognac for the last minute or so of cooking.
Cool to serve or serve just warm or room temperature on baguette rounds. The butter in the recipe congeals as it cools and helps to make a paste of the onions and mushrooms.
