    That’s basically low-heat frying them for more than half an hour, according to the recipe?

    Basically. The goal is to literally caramelize the sugars in the liquid you sweat out of the onions. This takes time and a lot of attention to prevent burning or sticking to the pan.

        In fact, you should add a little bit of salt, not sugar. Helps them to sweat and caramelize a little faster/better.

      It really doesn’t take much attention–just an occasional stir. Does take a while, though.
