• 3/4 cup Alfasi Cabernet Sauvignon or other red wine

• 1 tablespoon Haddar Kosher Salt

Directions 

Prepare the Soup 

1. Combine onions, salt, pepper, and oil in a crockpot; stir to combine.

2. Add flanken to the crockpot; cover with onion mixture. Cover; cook on high for four to five hours, until onions are golden brown.

3. Add broth, wine, and miso paste; stir to combine. Cook on high for an additional hour.

Tips: 

Miso paste is a paste made from fermented bean curd. Used primarily in Japanese cooking, it adds umami, depth of flavor, to the dishes. Miso paste is available in a variety of colors; the darker the color, the stronger the flavor. I use them interchangeably.
