- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 onions peeled, cut in half, and sliced thin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir even so often until the onions are soft but not browned, about 30 minutes.
Add the vegetable stock and vinegar. Simmer until the pan is dry, about 30 minutes more.
Turn off the heat, add the thyme leaves and stir. The onion confit will last for 1 week in the refrigerator.
