60 minutes

Serves 4

Note: This was originally a recipe for red onions, but I’ve made with both red and white, and it’s delicious either way.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 25g butter
  • 1.3kg onions, finely sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon thyme, finely chopped
  • 1.3 litres stock (vegetable, beef or chicken)

Method

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a wide, heavy-based saucepan, then fry the onions over a medium heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid sticking
  2. Add the garlic and thyme, then fry for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the hot stock, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes
