Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Slice the yellow onions thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. This will help them caramelize evenly.
- 2
Sauté the Onions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.

Prepare the Broth
Once the onions are caramelized, add the dry white wine to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until reduced slightly.

Combine Ingredients
