Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 pounds onions (about 8), halved and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup port or Marsala wine
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium beef broth
2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
Cheese Toasts (see Directions)

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or other heavy 5-quart pot, heat butter and oil over medium. Add onions and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions have softened, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are dark golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes more. (If bottom of pot gets too dry, add about 1/4 cup water, and scrape up browned bits with a wooden spoon.)
  • Add port, and cook until syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in broths and 2 cups water; season with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer. Serve with Cheese Toasts.
  • To make Cheese Toasts: Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Place 8 1/2-in-thick slices of baguette on a broilerproof baking sheet. Dividing evenly, sprinkle with 1 cup coarsely grated Gruyere cheese. Broil until cheese is golden, 2 to 4 minutes.
