Kazza the Blank One

We came home with half a dozen peeled onions from the club the other week.  What to do with them?  Stu suggested French onion soup.

So I found this recipe.

So we have a bunch of onions, which I sliced up.  Some butter and oil for frying.  Salt/sugar/stock/wine.  Not shown: more stock, flour and cognac.

So fry up the onions in butter and oil.  Cover and cook for like 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add some sugar and salt and brown a bit longer.  

Add a few tablespoons of flour and cook for a few more minutes.

In the slow cooker I added a litre of vegetable stock and 150mL white wine (that reminds me, must finish the bottle of it).

Then added the onions to it, and a decent splash of cognac.

I had some for lunch the next day (I might have added shallots and sour cream after this cause they go with anything right? ;) ).  I didn't have any cheese or croutons to do it properly so just had it by itself.

It was pretty decent.  My veggie stock was very very out of date.  I imagine it would be A Whole Lot Better if you made your own stock.
