Ingredients

6 large mayan onions (vidalia also work)
2 cups tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup Champagne vinegar (white wine vinegar or 1/2 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup white wine

Preparation

1
Thinly slice onions (I use a mandolin).
2
In a heavy bottom pot (that can be put into an oven), slowly simmer the onions in the olive oil over medium-high heat until soft.
3
Preheat oven to 250°F
4
Add all the remaining ingredients. Bring to steamy simmer, stirring well.
5
Cover with a parchment paper lid that has a 2-inch hole in the center to allow the steam to escape but protect it so that it can cook low and slow. Press the parchment paper down to touch and cover the onion mixture.
