Fried Onions to Accompany Liver or Steak

1. 1

   Peel the onions.

2. 2

   Cut them in half from root to tip, then slice each half into thick segments.

3. 3

   Melt the butter in a shallow pan, add the oil, and then the onions.

4. 4

   Cook over low heat until the onions are sweet and soft enough to squish between thumb and forefinger.

5. 5

   Salt only at the end of cooking, otherwise they will fail to soften.

6. 6

   There is no hurrying this.

7. 7

   Turning the heat up will result in the onions browning, and what you are after is onions that are deep honey gold rather than the color of creosote.

8. 8

   Stir them as they soften so they do not stick, but not so often that they fail to leave a glossy, sticky residue in the pan.

9. 9

   There will be much flavor there.
