Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or neutral vegetable oil
  • 4 extra large onions (white or yellow) sliced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme leaves fresh (or use slightly less if using dried)
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar optional
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar glaze

Instructions

  • Use a food processor with the slicing attachment to slice the onions.
  • Heat a Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot over medium heat.
  • Add in oil. Add in the onions and gently sauté over medium heat, until the onions reduce, stirring occasionally.
  • It will take about 1 hour 20 minutes, or close to 90 minutes. Don't rush.
  • Add in thyme, rosemary, brown sugar, sea salt, and balsamic near the end of the cooking process, when the onions have reduced significantly and are brown in colour.
  • Store in a sterilized glass jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 1 pint.
