10 cups chopped onion
Pinch of sea salt
Dark sesame oil
Water

Heat a small amount of dark sesame oil in a heavy pot. Saut?onion for several minutes over medium/low flame until they become translucent. Stir often to saut?evenly. Add a pinch of salt and just enough water to cover the top of the onions. Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to low and simmer for several hours until the onions become dark brown and very sweet. There shouldn't be any liquid left and the onions should be almost melted. If necessary, add very small amounts of water occasionally during the cooking process to keep onions from burning. When onion butter is ready allow it to cool. Use on bread, crackers, rice cakes. Store in a jar in the fridge.
