Caramelized Onion Aioli

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Caramelize the Onions

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until soft and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  2. 2

    Make the Aioli

    In a bowl, combine the caramelized onions, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the weck buns in half. Layer the smoked pastrami, followed by the gruyere cheese, and finish with a generous spread of the caramelized onion aioli.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Close the sandwich and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy!
