Steps:
- Make onion relish:
- In heavy medium pot, combine onions and enough water to cover and bring to boil, then strain. Return onions to pot and add sugar, red wine vinegar, and balsamic vinegar. Place over moderate heat and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low, and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until onions are completely tender and have no bite left, about one and a half hours. (The liquid should be syrupy and coat the onions.) Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
- Make aïoli:
- In food processor or blender, purée yolk, garlic, mustard, and vinegar until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Combine oils, then, with motor running, slowly drizzle into processor until completely emulsified, about 2 minutes. (If aïoli gets too thick, add a small amount of warm water, 1 teaspoon at a time.) Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and pepperoncini, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cook bacon:
- In large, heavy skillet over moderate heat, cook 6 slices bacon, turning occasionally, until crisp, then transfer with tongs to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining 6 slices. Set aside.
- Assemble sandwiches:
- Slice each ciabatta in half and place on large baking sheet. Place 4 ounces turkey on each of four ciabatta bottoms, then spread onion relish over meat. Lay 3 slices bacon on each of 4 ciabatta tops. Transfer baking sheet to oven and toast until bacon is crispy and edges of ciabatta turn light golden brown, about 5 minutes (the turkey does not have to get hot). Remove from oven and transfer bacon to other side of ciabatta, laying on top of onion relish. Divide avocado slices between sandwiches, placing on top of bacon. Spread aïoli evenly across each ciabatta top, close sandwiches, slice each in half, and serve.
GARRISON'S BACON AND ONION RELISH (FOR BURGERS)
I have always loved caramelized onions. I never thought about the bacon thing until recently, when I had the best burger ever on Coronado Island near San Diego. It was a premium cheese burger on a ciabatta bun, served simply with what they called bacon candy. My recipe is an attempt to duplicate my experience. I think my recipe...

Steps:
- 1. In a fry pan, cook bacon until crisp (15-20 min). Remove from pan. When cooled, chop medium fine.
- 2. In the same pan, cook onions in 2 Tbsp reserved bacon fat. Keep heat at medium/lo. Stir occasionally. Onions should be nicely colored and cooked down. This should take about 40 minutes.
- 3. Add salt, pepper, chopped cooked bacon, tomatoes, vinegar, and worcestershire. Cook 10 minutes to reduce.
- 4. Add brandy and bbq sauce. Cook 10 more minutes to reduce.
- 5. Serve as a condiment on generous cheese burgers.
Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, are best for this relish because they have a milder flavor that won't overpower the bacon.
- Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy: This will give the relish a smoky flavor.
- Use a food processor to chop the onions and bacon: This will make the relish smooth and even.
- Add vinegar and sugar to taste: The amount of vinegar and sugar you add will depend on your personal preference.
- Let the relish cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Bacon onion relish is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for topping burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and salads. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. No matter how you choose to use it, bacon onion relish is sure to be a hit!
