- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté for 4 minutes.

- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh herbs, and black pepper.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Serve with crusty pita, fresh Italian bread, or a grilled cheese sandwich.
- For a gluten-free version, use Tamari instead of soy sauce.
- For a vegan option, replace butter with more olive oil and use vegan Worcestershire sauce.
- Substitute white wine with extra broth if preferred.
