STEWED ONIONS
(Modena, Emilia)


INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PERSONS

10 large yellow onions

½ cup of extra virgin olive oil

½ cup of tomato paste

salt and pepper

 

PREPARATION


Cut the onions into many thin strips and fry them until clear in
 the oil in a large frying pan. The fundamental thing is not to
brown the onions, but to wither them over a low flame. 
 If burnt, start anew.  It could take two hours to achieve
 the beautiful color required for this recipe. 
Once done, add them to the tomato paste, salt and pepper to taste,
 then evaporate any residual water from the tomato.
