Heat the oil and butter in a wide pot and fry the onion with the sugar, salt, black pepper and thyme over low heat 40–50 minutes, stirring, until it is deep brown.
StoveWide, shallow pot
💡Onion caramelizes with patience: over medium heat it reaches deep brown in about half an hour, over low heat it takes close to an hour, and over high heat it burns at the edges before it softens. A pinch of salt at the start draws out its liquid, and when it starts to stick, add a tablespoon of water and scrape the bottom.
