Confit onions

Ingredients

• Yellow onions; sliced
• Butter
• Garlic; finely diced
• Olive oil
• Sugar
• Spices (salt, black pepper, chilli flakes, chilli powder, etc.)

Directions

No need to follow the recipe exactly. There’s a lot of leeway here. Cook to your taste.

• Add butter and olive oil to a pan. A 2:1 ratio will work.
• Add onions.
• Add spices.
• Simmer for 10-15 minutes until translucent and slightly brown. The taste should mellow out.
• Add sugar.
• Simmer for another 10-15 minutes to caramelize the onions until browned.
• Leave to cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge.
