2. allow the onions to brown on all sides by turning the heat up to medium and occasionally stirring. 
3. add roughly a 1/4 cup of stock or water and gently scrape the pan with a wooden spatula or spoon to lift the fond up off the bottom of the pan. cook until evaporated. continue doing this until desired color and softness is achieved. you can make this up to 4 days in advance.
