For 4 people

Ingredients:

800 gr to 1kg of red onion

100 gr of brown sugar

60 ml of Pedro Ximenez

40 ml olive oil

10 gr of butter

A little bit of salt

• 

Preparation:

Peel the onions, cut into feathers and put in the Gray saucepan 26 cm with butter and olive oil. Don't put the heat too intense because what we want is for the onion to cook very little by little.

Stir occasionally and keep the heat on medium until it softens a little. To help sweat the onion, add a little salt and leave until the onion is transparent and soft.

Add the brown sugar and continue cooking over low heat, stirring so that the sugar mixes with the onion and the juice that it releases.

As the sugar melts, the onion will take on a dark brown color.

When the onion is caramelized, add the Pedro Ximénez and mix well.

We will let the alcohol evaporate, it can take between 30 and 45 minutes or until the onion is thick and caramelized.
