Peel
and slice the onions about 3 millimeters (1/4 inch) thick.
In a large saute
pan heat the oil and butter over a medium heat. When hot add the
sliced onions and sprinkle over the sugar. Toss to coat the onions
with the butter, oil and sugar.
Toss occasionally
until the onions begin to turn brown should take about 20 - 25 minutes
and the onions get a nice golden to dark brown color. The sugar
will caramelize in the pan and help with the process.
Keep and eye
on the pan so that the onions brown and do not burn.
When they have
browned turn up the heat a little and add the wine. Gently boil
off the wine.
Then
add the beef or veal bullion and the Worcestershire sauce and gently
boil down again. This should take about 15 minutes.
Mill some fresh
black pepper and toss again.
Serve
immediately or keep for later use. This should keep in a cold refrigerator
for about a week. |
