Ingredients:

Breadsticks
2 tablespoons LAND O LAKES Unsalted or Salted Butter
1 tablespoon Crisco Pure Olive Oil
1 Large onion, cut into 1/8-inch slices (about 2 cups)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup drained sun-dried tomatoes in oil, cut into 1/8-inch slices
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (1 oz)
2 cans (11 oz each) Pillsbury refrigerated original breadsticks (24 breadsticks)

Coulis
1/2 cup drained roasted red bell peppers (from 7-oz jar)
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons Crisco Pure Olive Oil

1.  Heat oven to 350°F. Heat 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and 1 tablespoon oil; heat until butter is melted. Add onion; cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt; cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and golden brown. Remove from heat; stir in tomatoes and cheese. Set aside.
2.   Unroll breadstick dough into 2 sections. Separate breadsticks, leaving pairs of breadsticks together. Spread about 2 teaspoons onion mixture over each pair of breadsticks. For each pair, fold breadsticks together lengthwise; pinch edges of to seal. Twist stuffed breadsticks 3 times; place 1 inch apart on ungreased nonstick cookie sheets.
