A very basic recipe, but delicious. Goes well on lots of dishes. I've cooked with onions for all sorts of things, but I never realized they could taste so good until I had this.
Melt over the lowest possible possible heat:
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt
Add:
1 onion, thinly sliced
salt
Cook for one hour, stirring every once in a while. Keep the heat as low as possible for the entire hour.
As one of the four "Mother Sauces", I use this quite a bit. Â I use the recipe from the Joy of cook, although it can be modefied in quite a few ways.
Combine in a small saucepan over very low heat:
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 onion with 1 bay leaf stuck to it using 2 whole cloves
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Simmer gently for 15 minutes, and then discard the onion.
