About

If you’re in a hurry, you can use this gluten after letting it rest for an hour, but it’s really best if it sits for at least eight hours in the fridge, during which it will firm up considerably.

¾ onion, diced (1½ cups)

Method

Put the onion, oil, and salt in a medium skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is very soft and golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium and add the berbere, paprika, and thyme and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 min
