1½ cups Sour Cream
¾ cup Mayonnaise
2 tablespoon Sherry vinegar (deglazing)
¼ cup Olive Oil

Instructions

Transfer thinly sliced onions to a large pot over medium heat.
Add dark brown sugar, salt, baking soda, and pepper to it.
Toss the onions in the pot for a minute and then let them rest for about 10 minutes.
Drizzle some olive oil in the pot and set the pot over high heat. Then, cook the onions.
After the onions are golden brown in color, reduce the heat to medium and cook further for about 15 minutes.
Deglaze the onions using sherry vinegar and water. Now, reduce the heat to low and continue to stir.
Scrap up all the bits of onion from the bottom of the pot.
