"Onions are a celebrated vegetable in the city of Bern, where Zibelmärit (Onion Market Day) takes place every November. In the 15th century when a rampaging fire almost demolished the city, the first Zibelmärit was held for the farmers of nearby Fribourg, who brought onions for the starving inhabitants. From Easy Menu Cooking the Swiss Way, Helga Hughes."

ingredients

4 yellow onions, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick (1 pound)
1 teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 dash sugar
2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives

directions

In a bowl, sprinkle onion slices with salt and pepper.
Using 2 forks, mix well and separate onion slices into separate rings.
Place bacon and onion rings in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook until bacon is crisp and onions are light brown (about 10 minutes), stirring frequently.
Sprinkle with flour, stirring gently so flour coats onions.

Remove pan from heat and cover to keep warm.
Before serving, sprinkle with chives.
