Method

In a large sauté pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until very soft and golden, about 15 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, reduce heat to low, and cook and stir until the onions are dark brown, aromatic, and the consistency of jam, 35 to 45 minutes. Serve warm. Keeps in the refrigerator for about 1 week.
