Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 cup ghee or grass fed butter
- 8 cups sliced onions
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp apple juice
- 1 Tbsp cassava flour
- 6 cups vegetable or beef broth
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- 8–12 parmesan cheese crisps (I used these from Costco but I did see recipes to make your own! Cello-Whisps-Parmesan-Cheese-Crisps)

Instructions
- Melt butter or ghee over medium heat until it bubbles, or foams slightly.

- Turn the heat up to medium/high and stir sauteeing or caramelizing the onions, careful not to burn, this will take 45 minutes for the onions to cook down and become golden, caramel in color.

- Add rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf, remaining broth salt and pepper, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
