making life sweeter
There’s nothing quite like the flavor of a fresh, true sweet onion, but cooking with these little gems can be a bit tricky. The unique composition of a sweet onion makes them a wonderful ingredient in some dishes and a terrible choice for others. For the best results when cooking sweet onions consider these helpful tips:
Use sweets: Raw in sandwiches and salads; lightly grilled-whole or sliced, gently roasted or quickly baked; in stir-frys; power bowls, street tacos and other fresh fare. They are delicious caramelized but take care not to stir them too rigorously or cook them at too high a temperature
Avoid using in: Slow-cooker or long-simmering recipes like chili, stews, soup or in baked casserole dishes. Prolonged cooking breaks down the delicate texture and flavor of sweet onions.

Directions
Make the horseradish sauce: Stir all sauce ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Make the caramelized onions: Heat oil and butter in a large, heavy skillet to medium on the stove top. Add onions and stir to coat with the fats. Cook, stirring every few minutes, until the onions are a deep, golden brown color. The entire process should take about 30 minutes. Salt the last few minutes of cooking. Once the onions are caramelized, remove from heat and set aside.
Make the beef tenderloin: Preheat your oven to 500 F and make sure your rack is in the middle of the oven. Place beef on a baking sheet, rub with olive oil on all sides and season liberally with salt and pepper. Roast until the internal temperature reads 125-130 F for medium rare, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, tent with foil and let rest for 15-20 minutes while you make the crostini.
Make the crostini last: Lower your oven temperature to 375 F. Place bread slices in one layer on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Bake until the bread begins to toast and become fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Keep your eye on the bread while it is cooking; it burns fast. Once toasted, remove from oven.
Slice the beef tenderloin into about 1/4" thick pieces crosswise.
To assemble the crostini, place 5 or 6 pieces of bread on your work surface. Spread with a little horseradish sauce. Layer a piece of brie, a piece of beef and a scoop of onions on top. Garnish with parsley or watercress. Repeat process until all ingredients have been used. Serve immediately.
