Ingredients:

Serving

5 lbs onions, approximately (around 6 or so large)
1/3-1/2 cup olive oil
1 tbsp salt

Directions:

Trim onions then cut in half. Cut into 1/4 inch slices. Place in large, heavy pot - cast iron or other.
Pour oil over onions, and add salt. Stir and set over medium flame. Cover with lid, stirring every 15 minutes or so to keep from sticking. Onions will begin to soften.
20 to 30 minutes later, when onions are soft, reduce heat to low. Continue stirring every 15 minute.
After 50 min., onions will be quite moist. Remove lid and increase heat to medium. Stir occasionally until moisture has begun to evaporate and onions begin to become golden, about 30 minutes more.
Reduce heat again, continue cooking, and stir every 15 minutes until they get a deeper brown shade. Continue about 2 more hours (around 3 hours total.).
Watch carefully to make sure the onions don't dry out. Cook until they have become a deep brown color, up to 1 hour longer. Total cooking time is close to 4 hours.
