   Étape 2Caramelize the onions35 min

   Heat olive oil in a large pan over low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring often. Keep the heat low and add a splash of water now and then to prevent sticking. Cook until the onions are deep golden brown and caramelized.

   Note

   Low and slow is key — don't rush this step. The deep caramelization is what gives the dish its sweet, rich flavor.
