A veggie sandwich from Whole Foods

I wished I'd have taken a picture of this sandwich that I had them make for me yesterday at Whole Foods. They have a checklist where you can create your own sandwich. I have tried their suggested sandwiches from their deli menu. There are parts of each that I like. So yesterday I decided to create my own. Here's what I had them make me:

Rosemary focaccia bread
basil pesto aioli
red onion marmalade (I need to find out if they sell that or a recipe for it, because it is so good.)
spinach
arugula
tomatoes
cucumbers
shredded carrots
goat cheese

I don't know if this is how they make the red onion marmalade but I bet it's pretty close.

Red Onion Marmalade

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lbs red onions
3 tablespoons unsalted butter or 3 tablespoons Earth Balance margarine
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup dry red wine
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, plus
2 -3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, if needed
1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)


Directions:

Halve onions lengthwise and cut into thin slices.

Heat butter in large heavy skillet set over medium heat.

When melted and hot, add onions and sugar and stir occasionally until onions are soft and start to caramelize, 10 to 15 minute.

Add wine and 1/4 cup vinegar and stir until mixture almost comes to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer until liquids have evaporated and onion is shiny, 15 to 20 minutes.

Remove from heat and sprinkle in salt, adding more if needed.

For tarter taste, stir in another 2 to 3 teaspoons vinegar.

The marmalade can be prepared 5 days ahead; cover and refrigerate.

Reheat, stirring, just to warm before using. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
