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
- 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
- Add the garlic and thyme, then fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the hot stock, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes
