2. Put some oil in a cast iron pan. Add the onions and sea salt, fry with high heat until steam come out. Reduce to low heat with the lid on for 30 minutes. The onions should be soft but not golden, release onion juice.

3. Season with several grinds of pepper. Cover and cook with low heat for 3 ~ 4 hours, stirring occasionally. You should be able to leave the onions alone for an half an hour at a stretch once they’ve released their water.

4.  Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 100°C. Place the bread slices in the oven and let dry completely

5. Once the onions have turned amber, taste no spicy but sweet taste.  Add water. Raise the heat to high and bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Add the sherry. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. If the soup is too sweet, add the vinegar or white wine. If you would like a little more depth, add a splash of red wine.

      洋蔥可能不夠新鮮,加點清水試試吧

      味會濃一點,要是你不介意都可以,先加少許試味比較保險

    不想開明火煮幾小時外,有其他煮法嗎? 例如用真空煱代替可以嗎?

    我记得以前看过说把洋葱切了之后泡泡水,就能减少辛辣味,只剩下甜味~

      泡水只可減少刺激性的氣味,但始終要加熱加會釋出甜味
