Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large heavy bottomed saucepan until it sizzles.
  2. Add the onions and toss them for a few minutes so that they turn slightly brown.
  3. Sprinkle the sugar over the onions and continue to toss them over low heat until they are completely covered with a sticky layer of sugar.
  4. Add the stock and simmer uncovered until the stock evaporates, leaving a thick glaze that covers the onions.
  5. This will take about 15 minutes.
  6. Shake the saucepan from time to time while cooking.
  7. Serve very hot.
