Directions:
1. Place stock pot over moderate heat and melt butter with
the olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly until
tender and just begin to color. This will take about 15 minutes.
Stir on and off.
2. Add the salt and sugar and raise the heat to moderately
high. Let the onions brown, stirring frequently, until they are a
dark walnut color. This will take about 25-30 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir. Remove from
heat. Add the stock, cognac and vermouth. Cover loosely
and simmer very slowly for about 1 1/2 hours, add a little
water if the liquid reduces too much. Correct the seasonings
(salt and pepper) as needed.
4. Top with fresh bread and Swiss or Guerye cheese and
broil until just brown in individual serving bowls.
