I like to use these in soup/sauce bases and recently saw the light of just throwing them on top of the main dish as a condiment like sauerkraut (which I also love). Here goes...

>slice/chop up 1-2 onions
>spread 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in the pan you'll use (I usually use a small pot or our ceramic pan)
>get the oil hot
>throw your chopped onion in and toss them a little
>cook on low heat and dont stir for 10 minutes
>after 10 minutes, add a pinch of salt, pinch of sugar, pinch of ground black pepper and stir the onions
>keep cooking, stirring only occasionally so the onions crisp up against the pan but don't stick completely
>check in 15 minute intervals and give a good stir each 15 minutes

It should take 45 minutes to an hour at most for the onions to finish but you can kind of tell when they're "ready"

For extra dankness, try adding a splash of something like Worcestershire sauce or broth to the onions.
