1

["Melt the butter along with the oil and 1 t. salt in your largest skillet, and add the onions.", "Set heat on medium-low and stir occasionally until very soft, about 45 minutes then turn heat to medium high and keep cooking and stirring often until deeply browned and sweet, another 20 minutes or more.", "Deglaze pan with the veggie broth and stir into the onions to get more flavor. See \"caramelized onions\"" in Joy of Cooking for a more thorough description of the process if needed. If pressed for time you can do a higher heat version of this but the results won't be as tasty.""
