Looks good. Keep going with the low heat and stirring. Occassionally add a couple tablespoons of water to scrape up the fond. You've got about 30 more minutes.

Looks like a ways to go yet. If you want to try an experiment you can actually caramelized the onions faster. Just use more heat.

> whoa anon, nice try on getting me to burn them!

Dice up an onion, I find the finer the dice the faster caramelization will happen. Because it can only happen once you get rid of the water in the onion. So turn up your heat and have some water on hand. What I do is splash a bit of water in the pan when I see the brown caramel sticking to the pan, which prevents it from burning. It evaporates quickly and the. I wait a bit for more brown to form then splash a bit more water to loosen it from the pan. I used to spend an hour reducing an onion, but if you do it correctly you can do it faster.

OP here, thanks guys, no pics sadly cause I forgot I made a thread and already threw my final product in with my beef/pork mince, but I waited another 20 minutes (50 minutes total) and added some brown sugar and a glut of red wine at the very end. I did not however use any water at all and just cooked it dry, save for the tbsp or so of butter I threw in at the very beginning. Fuck I should have gotten mushrooms while I was at the store....

I've found white onions seem to caramelize quicker and easier than yellow ones. Any thoughts?
