Easy beer bread turned into something extra special using locally-made Marinated Balsamic Onions from The Rustic Fork in Folsom, California. I meet Sonya, the owner of The Rustic Fork, at this year's Raley's Grape Escape in downtown Sacramento. It was a fabulous event where scores of restaurants, cafes, wineries and even food trucks provided tasty bits and yummy samples of their special libations. It was a great evening savoring great local and regional foodie favorites!
Sonya has some wonderful recipe ideas, too. I especially loved her sweet and spicy bbq sauce and am hoping to create something pretty special with that product too. It's great to see a local business and amazing cook bring her ready to use sauces and relishes to home cooks to create easy and flavorful appetizers and dinners.
Balsamic Onion Pull-Aparts are inspired from one of The Rustic Forks offerings: Marinated Balsamic Onions. Let's just say, YUM! Full of flavor and a deep rich color from slow cooking of the onions. I used them as a filling for my pull-aparts combined with a great and easy beer bread recipe that I shared with you a while back. This dough is super forgiving and loves, loves, loves to be slathered in savory cheesy stuff!
A perfect savory appetizer or a great dinner roll. Perfect size for making ahead and freezing. Great for this fall and winter soups and stews. And, you don't have to do the pull-apart version, just place the pinwheels in the pan and ~voile~ : instant dinner rolls! I love easy...
As for me...These yummy little powerhouses of flavor are perfect portion controls for bread consumption...A little thing I have a huge challenge with at present!
