  • Melt the butter with the oil in a large saucepan.
  • Add the onions and stir them well covered.
  • Cook over low heat for 5 = 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to soften.
  • Add the thyme.
  • Reduce the heat to very mild, cover the pan and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions are very soft and golden yellow.
  • Uncover the saucepan, add the heat, add the sugar and cook for 5-10 minutes until the onions begin to brown.
  • Add the sherry vinegar and raise the heat again.
  • Continue cooking until the onions darken a little. (This can take up to 20 minutes.)

  • Add the flour to the onions and stir constantly for 2 minutes.
  • Add the broth little by little and then the wine and brandy.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
