In this confit, called tfaya, all the ingredients blend together, taking on a melting softness as well as the distinct notes of honey. Added to savory dishes like the couscous or even the lamb, it provides an unexpected brightness along with the sweetness.
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 1/4 lb red onions, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup mild honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
-
Heat oil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 7 minutes. Add raisins, honey, ginger, and cinnamon and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until onions are very tender and slightly caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes.
Cook’s note: Confit can be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat to warm before serving.
