Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
100g butter
sea salt
black pepper
4-6 large onions, thinly sliced
75ml dry white wine
Method
- In a large, heavy-bottomed, casserole, saucepan or soup pot, heat the oil and butter over a medium heat. Add the onion to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook down the onions, stirring occasionally until the onions begin to soften.
As the onion cooks down, it will start to turn golden. Continue to cook until the onion starts to turn brown and stick to the bottom of the pan, stirring often and scraping the bottom to unstick any onion. After about 20 minutes add the white wine in three stages, cooking it down each time until evaporated.
The onions should be deep golden brown, very soft and sticky. Check for seasoning.
