Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 2 large Spanish or sweet onions thinly sliced*
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves optional
- ½ cup dry white wine
- Water as needed
Notes
- Slice the onions as thinly and evenly as possible. Keeping the root end of the onion attached while you slice makes it easier.
- Be attentive and check on your onions frequently. A few seconds can make the difference between perfectly cooked and burnt.
- Be patient. The key is to cook the onions slowly to coax the sugar and flavors out, and this will take time.
