  3. Add the onions and stir to coat with oil, bring down to medium-low (30%) heat and let cook, stirring occasionally
  4. Let cook for 45-60 minutes, stirring every few minutes until the onions have a rich, golden color. You might have to add a little oil or water. At the end you might want to add balsamic vinegar to bring some additional flavor to the onions
