Onion Puree as a sauce

I'm considering making the CS onion puree just for fun.

However, for Christmas Eve I'm doin' a turkey from the rotisserie and a little bit of smoke, so I asked myself if the puree could work as a sauce just by itself.

Because if it does, I'm gonna do the puree before the holidays, and not afterwards.

Did anyone try the recipe and would suggest serving the puree as a sauce?

Cheers!

I have indeed made it. It's quite tasty but very, very, subtle. It would be great as base for a caramelized onion sauce (think pieces or carmelized onions) Alone it is just not going to work IMHO

I agree that its not really much on its own.

what are you going to use the sauce on? I'm doing a Turkey for Xmas as well (it's cooked and in the freezer). Some considerations. If doing the Turkey whole, you can make a turkey (and onion if desired) sauce in advance. Many stores have Turkey wings on sale right now (here whole foods actually has them cheaper than chicken wings) and you can easily make a stock, season to the type of sauce that you want and you can walk in prepared. At the very least with a gravy. I broke the turkey down b/c it's easier for transport to Cda and was able to cook it in advance, make LOTs of stock and did lots of things with it (2 consumme's, one gravy and 2 sauces). The onion sauce would be a nice addition and sounds like you're still well ahead of the game.
