Heat a large flat-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions. Stir to coat with the oil, then spread them out over the bottom of the pan. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
Sprinkle salt and 1 teaspoon sugar over the onions. Stir, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cook for another 30 minutes, allowing the onions to brown but stirring them when they start to stick. Add a little oil if needed.
Add balsamic vinegar to deglaze the pan.
When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened
or not; but my faculties are decaying now and soon I shall be so I
cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to
go to pieces like this but we all have to do it.
-- Mark Twain
