Get the Onions Started
Make Onions Sweet: Put the olive oil and butter in a big saucepan and cook them over medium heat. After chopping the onions, add the sugar and salt. Cook, stirring periodically, for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the onions become a deep golden brown and caramelized. To avoid burning, lower the heat as necessary.
