Brie with carmelized onion, pistachios, and cranberries

We really enjoy our Brie here at Clay Coyote. You may remember this recipe from our entertaining event last November. After my first bite, a frenzy started. I couldn’t help myself…
The caramelized onions and cranberries are a sweet balance to the soft and savory brie. The pistachios add a salty crunch. I advise using a larger portion of brie. This dish usually goes fast.

8 oz pkg. round brie
1 onion
2 T butter
1/2 c brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 T white wine vinegar
1/4 c pistachios

Place brie in Clay Coyote brie baker, or baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Set aside. Sauté onion, brown sugar, cranberries, and vinegar. Heat until mixture begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Pour over brie, sprinkle with pistachios.

 

 

Thinking outside the “box” with a cazuela

I think I may have been a cook in a logging camp in a former life. I make a meal, and the leftovers usually last into the next week. I only cook for 2, not a team of hungry lumberjacks.

The only thing I hate more than eating day 6 leftovers is throwing them away.
