Instructions
1.
In a saute pan with a lid, add onions and a teaspoon of salt. Turn the heat to low. Cover and cook very slowly for about 60 minutes.
2.
When the onions have become very soft, remove the lid, turn up the heat and let the liquid evaporate. The onions will become a golden color. Or even a deep brown color.
3.
Add the white wine. Wine will bubble off but leave behind it's flavor.
4.
Stir in the parsley.
5.
For Mushrooms and Red Peppers: In a saute pan with Olive Oil, the mushrooms, red peppers, garlic and shallots get tossed with 1 teaspoon of salt and sauteed until most liquid has been released from the vegetables and browned. About 10 - 15 minutes.
6.
Add mushrooms and peppers to the onions.
7.
Avocado and cheese are great embellishments. Blue Cheese gives a stronger, nutty bite. Feta is a bit more mild.
