Directions

 

Suppen:

  1. Peel the onions and cut into thin strips. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add onions and garlic and sauté in them. Sprinkle with the sugar and let the sugar caramelize. Then reduce the heat, salt the onions a little and slowly simmer for about 10-15 minutes until golden brown (stir every now and then).

  3. When the onions are browned, pour in the white wine. Let it boil down briefly, pour in the vegetable stock, add the bay leaf and star anise and simmer gently for another 10 minutes. Season the soup with tamari, salt, pepper and thyme.

Focaccia

  1. For the dough, put the yeast in a large mixing bowl and mix with water, olive oil, honey, thyme and salt. Add the flour and knead with the food processor for 10 minutes to form a smooth and soft dough. Cover the dough with a cloth and let rise for about 30-40 minutes.

  2. Drizzle a little olive oil on a baking sheet and sprinkle with a little salt.

  3. Place the dough on top and pull apart with your hands to the size of the tray. Cover and let rise for another 20 minutes.

  4. Preheat the oven to 200 °C hot air.

  5. Drizzle the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan. Use your fingertips to make holes in the dough several times.

  6. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

    Tip! Cut the focaccia into strips and garnish with goat cream cheese, fresh thyme and small apple slices.
