difficulty = easy

4 large yellow onions, sliced thinly
1 t. canola oil
1 12 oz. San Marzano Tomatoes
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup sugar
1 T. salt
  1. Heat a large wide pan over medium heat
  2. Add oil to pan and swirl
  3. Add all the onions at once and stir for 1 minute
  4. Add salt
  5. Cook onions for 5 minutes (translucent and slightly brown)
  6. Puree the tomatoes, vinegar, sugar until smooth
  7. Add tomato mixture to onions and stir for 1 minute
  8. Lower heat to medium-low and cook for 45 minutes

This is great on a bagel and really excellent in a turkey sandwich where the bread is hot and the turkey is bland.
