Instructions
- 1
Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply softened and beginning to turn golden at the edges, about 20–25 minutes. The onions should reduce significantly in volume and smell sweet.

Push the onions to the sides of the pot and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the center. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute, watching closely so they don't scorch.
