Ingredients

1 large yellow onion, sliced into half-moon strips
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon herbs de provence (dried thyme and/or rosemary will work
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon sherry wine or balsamic vinegar

Preparation

1
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large shallow pot over medium low heat
2
When butter starts to bubble add the onions and herbs de provence, and toss with the oil.
3
Place the lid on top and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes to sweat the onions.
4
Remove the lid and continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the onions are caramelized and golden brown. If the onions are cooking too fast, lower the heat.
