- 1/2 cup creme fraiche
- 4 teaspoons kosher salt

- Place the mousse in a clean bowl and put in the freezer for at least 1 hour before serving.
- For the red onion puree: Heat the oil in a large saucepan until just smoking, then add the onions and cook until theyre deep brown.
- Stir constantly so the onions dont burn.
- When the onions are browned, add the red wine, port wine, and remaining 2 teaspoons salt, and simmer to reduce until the onions have absorbed all the wine.
- Remove the pan from the heat and transfer to a food processor or blender.
- Allow to cool for 1 minute.
- Puree the onions and run through a fine sieve and let cool.
- To serve: In a martini glass, place a scoop of the mousse and top with the red onion puree.
