Ingredients
Scale
- 4 onions, halved and sliced thinly
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 tablespoon grape molasses, optional
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
- Add all the onions and stir to coat all the onions evenly. Stir occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to medium low so that the onions don’t burn.
- Add in salt after 10 minutes and add water to the skillet if the onions start to stick at the bottom of the skillet.
- Cook them for 30 minutes stirring occasionally and add in grape molasses.
- Bring the heat to the lowest and let them cook for about 20 minutes more.
- Don’t forget to stir every few minutes.
- Let them stick a little to the skillet to get a nice brown texture, so don’t stir too often.
