I found this recipe in traditional French cookbook. Onion purée comes from Champagne/Paris region. It goas well with any meat dishes and mashed potatoes. I mix sometimes mash potatoes and onion purée together, but they taste also very well seperate. For the onions I used cogniac but the original recipe says that you should use Marc de Champagne.
