Prepare the Onion Jam
Start by preparing the red Tropea onion jam. Peel and slice the onions thinly to ensure they cook evenly. In a mixing bowl, combine the onions with both sugars (granulated and brown), white wine, cloves, and a bay leaf. -
Cook the Jam
Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer and continue cooking for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The jam will gradually thicken to a spreadable consistency. -
Finish the Jam
Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly. -
Assemble the Spianatine
Take each “La Bottega di Olivia & Marino” Spianatina and spread a small spoonful of the warm onion jam on top. The tangy sweetness of the onions will complement the crispness of the spianatine. -
Add the Cheese
Using a sharp knife, shave the fresh chili cheese into small flakes. Scatter the cheese over the onion-covered spianatine for an extra burst of flavor and a hint of spice. -
Finishing Touches
If desired, add a small splash of Cognac on top of the cheese for an aromatic kick, but this step is optional. -
Serve
Serve these spianatine as an appetizer to impress your guests with a delightful combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. The delicate crunch of the spianatine and the richness of the onion jam will make for a memorable start to any meal.
