Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 3 Spanish onions, cut in 1/2 lengthwise then thinly sliced
- 3 large shallots, cut in half

Set oven rack at lowest level, preheat to 450 degrees. Combine onions, shallots, garlic and oil in large shallow roasting pan. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, or until onions are golden brown.
Remove from oven and pour in 1 cup of chicken broth.
