Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs (about 5 cups) yellow onions thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ tsp sugar
  • 3 tablespoon flour
  • 2 quarts boiling beef bouillon or brown stock (can use chic
  • 1 ½ C dry white wine

Preparation

Cook yellow onions slowly with 3 T butter and 1 T oil in a covered saucepan for 15 minutes. Uncover, raise heat to moderate, and stir in the salt and sugar. Cook for 30-40 minutes stirring frequently, until the onions have turned an even, deep, golden brown. Sprinkle in the four and stir for 3 minutes.

Off heat, blend in the boiling liquid. Add the wine, and season to taste. Simmer partially covered for 30-40 minutes more, skimming occasionally. Correct seasoning.

Set aside uncovered until ready to serve. Then reheat to simmer.
